Description from the seller
Oil on canvas painting by Willem van der Nat in which his characteristic style is clearly evident. He depicts a cart in loose, recognizable brushstrokes that reveal his impressionist handwriting. By adding green and red accents to an otherwise brown palette, he subtly plays with color and contrast.
Dimensions: 18 cm x 21 cm
Framed dimensions: 30 cm x 33 cm
The work is in a neat frame
The work is signed and dated at the lower right '1889'
Willem Hendrik van der Nat (Leiden, 1864–1929) was a versatile artist: painter, draftsman, watercolourist, sculptor, etcher, illustrator and lithographer. He received his first drawing lessons at a young age and later studied in The Hague and Leiden, where he befriended artist Floris Verster and art critic H.P. Bremmer.
Initially Van der Nat worked as an illustrator and lithographer, but around 1900 he devoted himself entirely to painting. His style developed from the influence of the Hague School to a more expressive, colorful approach, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He became known for his paintings of sheep and goats, often made during his stays in Drenthe, but he also painted still lifes, landscapes and Spanish scenes.
Van der Nat was co-founder of the Leiden artists' association De Kunst om De Kunst and is considered part of the core of the so-called Leiden Impressionists — a group of painters distinguished by their loose brushwork and vivid use of color. They painted in and around the city of Leiden. The movement is related to the Hague School. His work is represented in the collections of several museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo.
Viewing is of course possible.
