Maria met kind, an oil painting from 1950–1960 by Peer van den Molengraft, Netherlands, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
This oil-on-canvas painting is by Peer van den Molengraft (Tongelre, November 1, 1922 – August 27, 2014), a Dutch painter and pupil of Jan Kruysen. Since French President Vincent Auriol sat for him in Algiers in 1947, Van den Molengraft has painted numerous heads of state, which earned him the nickname “the court painter of the 20th century.” Thus he painted, among others, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, and President Suharto of Indonesia.
This work, executed in his characteristic style, shows Mary with the infant Jesus, surrounded by white doves. The painting is signed toward the lower center.
Dimensions: 81 x 61 cm
Dimensions with frame: 99 x 79 cm
Provenance: Private collection, The Netherlands
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framers, who are celebrating their 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
