Description from the seller
This oil painting by Willem van der Nat is a beautiful and detailed work. The farmer ensures that the goats can eat acorns from the bushes. Through the rich color nuances in the vegetation and the variation in the colors of the goats, the whole forms a pleasant and harmonious image to look at.

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 gained fame with his paintings of sheep and goats, often created during his stays in Drenthe, but 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 regarded as 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 Otterloo.
Viewing is, of course, possible.
