Description from the seller
Etching by Willem de Zwart
No. 84
Wilhelmus Henricus Petrus Johannes (Willem) de Zwart (The Hague, May 16, 1862 – there, December 11, 1931) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman, etcher, watercolorist and plate painter. His oeuvre encompasses a wide variety of subjects, including landscapes, cityscapes, portraits and still lifes, executed in a naturalistic-impressionist style. Within the Hague School De Zwart held a special position thanks to his exuberant and powerful use of color. At the same time his work shows clear kinship with Amsterdam impressionism, in which urban life and the human figure are central. In his choice of subjects he aligns with the Hague School, while his style and palette place him closer to the Amsterdam impressionists. For that reason he is also called the 'Hague Breitner'.
Work by Willem de Zwart is located among others in the collections of the Kunstmuseum Den Haag and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo.
