Oil paint on canvas

Resting boats on the shore,
In the background, the outlines of houses.

Painted by the artist Joop Kropff.

The artist Joop Kropff is regarded as belonging to the so-called 'New Hague School'. He was part of the avant-garde Hague artist collectives 'De Posthoorngroep' and 'Fugare'.

He painted, watercolored, drew, etched, and lithographed still lifes, portraits, and landscapes. From oil extraction in the southeastern part of Drenthe, he produced the school chart Oil Field Schoonebeek.

His art is described as moody, tender, and dreamlike, often with a dark color palette. In his later period, Joop Kropff also begins painting abstractly.
