AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful and intimate oil painting on canvas by the Dutch artist Louis van der Steen. Van der Steen worked in The Hague and developed a very recognizable, moody style, often focusing on the tranquil beauty of nature.
In this work, titled "Witte paddestoelen" (White Mushrooms), the painter shows his mastery in depicting texture and light. The mushrooms hardly glow against the dark, forested background, giving the painting a mysterious and faithful-to-nature appearance. The brushstroke is strong and paste-like (boldly applied), which is typical for
The back of the painting tells an interesting story and confirms the value:
Museum history: Equipped with a handwritten label referring to the Gemeentemuseum Arnhem.
Appraisal: Includes documentation of a previous appraisal by the renowned Kunsthandel Ivo Bouwman (The Hague), then valued at €750.
Frame: The work is fitted in a classic cream-colored wooden frame that beautifully brings out the soft hues of the mushrooms.
Specifications:
Artist: Louis (Lodewijk Christiaan) van der Steen (1891-1954)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Signature: Bottom right fully signed 'Louis v d Steen'
Dimensions: without frame 30x40.5 cm, with frame 51x41 cm
Condition: Good vintage condition. There is a small spot in the paint layer (see detail photo with blue circle), which is inherent to the age of the canvas, but not distracting to the overall image.
