Description from the seller
The Inheritance
The Spanish Quay
Oil on canvas
Dimensions without frame 26 x 46 cm
The Hague painter Jan Gerard Smits was a pupil of Salomon Verveer. His early work belongs to Romanticism. He enjoyed painting urban and rural views. As a pupil of Salomon Verveer he chose to paint cityscapes and rural views as well as the beach and the dunes near Scheveningen and Katwijk. But his work was not limited to the surroundings of his birthplace, and he regularly crossed the country in search of picturesque towns and landscapes.
Smits taught Queen Sophie, the first wife of King William III. Several museums, including The Hague Municipal Museum and the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum, own works by him.
