Rare and precious painting by the Belgian painter Evert Larock. His works do not often appear at auctions.
Evert Larock was a Belgian artist. His works were exhibited and sold across Europe – Paris, Bordeaux, Wrocław, Düsseldorf and Cologne.

The first exhibition of Kunst van Heden (1901) may be called a tribute to Larock's work. Larock was from the very start a follower of plein air painting and in many of his works he shows a strong interest in the sunny coloristic of Impressionism. His greatest works such as The Idiot, The Sintelraper and The Fisher Boy testify that he possessed the talent to become a remarkable naturalist, but due to his short life (illness) he could not prove it.

Friend and painter Frans Hens (1856-1928) said the following about Larock:

‘Larock's art is an art of slender softness, of quiet inwardness, an art also of refinement: - an art only for a few, oh so few! I would almost say only for painters, and then still far from all’.

Works of his can be admired, among others, in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp and even in Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
This is a unique opportunity to add this work to the art collection.
