Description from the seller

Painting by Jan Sierhuis 21-12-1928 / 4-7-2023

Acrylic painting on paper by Jan Sierhuis, bought by my father in the 1970s at the "Stichting Beeldende Kunst" SBK in Amsterdam. Original price 1,300 guilders
Painting 70 cm x 45 cm, aluminum frame with glass 79.50 cm x 57 cm
I am not sure whether it is a painting or a print; on the back it says Number 8-80. It is unclear whether it is signed.

Condition is good. There is a small 3 mm crack at the bottom edge of the artwork; this has been there since purchase and it has never been taken out of the frame. At the top left inside, there is a small paint spot on the inner side of the glass. It is probably still wet when framed.
The glass plate has a small crack of 2.5 cm in the upper right corner.

From Wikipedia:
Jan Sierhuis was primarily an expressionist painter, inspired by, among others, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, van Gogh and Picasso. In his youth he painted naturalistic landscapes. In the 1950s and 1960s he worked for a time almost exclusively in abstraction. In the mid-1960s he moved from expressionism to a period focused mainly on human figures. Sierhuis shifted to more figurative themes, such as dancing figures, portraits and landscapes. He spent many summers in Spain. His passion for flamenco influenced many of his works and led him to also work in three dimensions.
