Description from the seller
A charming and classic Dutch river landscape by Simon Kramer. This work is a beautiful example of post-war figurative art in the Netherlands, with a strong nod to the Hague School.
Details:
• Artist: Simon Kramer (signed lower left as “Cramer”)
• Technique: Oil on canvas
• Canvas dimensions: 70 x 50 cm
• Frame: Supplied with the gilded frame as shown.
Provenance:
This painting has a clear family history. It was purchased in the early 1970s by the current owner’s father from the then highly respected Kunsthandel Schoonheim (later Schoonheim & De Vink) in Utrecht. The work has remained within the same family ever since. The original gallery label is still present on the reverse of the stretcher.

About the artist:
Simon Kramer is known for his ability to capture the distinctly Dutch atmosphere. His work is characterized by magnificent cloudscapes, reflections in the water, and a confident, assured brushstroke.
