Jacques van Eck/ W.van Kampen(1939) - Schelpenvisser

Jacques van Eck moodily evocative seaside scene with shellfisher on horseback (signed W . van Kampen)
Magnificent seascape in the style of the Hague School, painted by the well-known Dutch artist Jacques van Eck (Amsterdam 1939).
This refined artwork shows a shell or prawn fisherman seated on a working horse in the surf off the Dutch coast.
In the background is the subtle contour of a sailing vessel (bomschuit) visible under a beautiful, typical Dutch cloudscape.
Van Eck knew better than anyone how to capture the nostalgic atmosphere and the light of the 19th-century master.
The panel is signed in the bottom left with the artist's well-known pseudonym ;W, van Kampen.
On the reverse there is an annotation (collectors note on paper) that confirms the provenance and the linkage
between Jacques van Eck and his pseudonym.
