Biography: Frans Simon Hoos (Frans) was born on December 18, 1884 in The Hague. He also died there on December 13, 1966. Until 1910 Hoos lived and worked in The Hague, after which he moved to Brussels. He then returned to The Hague and subsequently lived in Voorburg, Nancy and Namur. Frans Hoos educated himself; he initially came under the influence of Willem de Zwart and H.G. Breitner. Hoos painted in the style of the Hague School landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes and portraits and, during his life, was a well-known Hague artist. In 1953 he was sent to France for three months in an exchange program. Upon his return to the Netherlands, his works, together with those of other painters sent to France, were exhibited at Pulchri Studio. In March 1954, prompted by this exhibition, the Touring Club de France selected a number of works, including that of Frans Hoos. The works of Frans Hoos are, among others, in the collection of the Haags Gemeentemuseum.

Painting and frame in excellent condition.
