AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This drawing shows a small boat housed in a hayloft. With black chalk, the artist powerfully sets the image down on paper. Through a deliberate play of light and shadow he creates depth and atmosphere: the interior of the storage is rendered dark, while the surroundings are slightly lighter. This produces a beautiful contrast and gives the composition a spatial and almost tangible character.

Willem Hendrik van der Nat (Leiden, 1864–1929) was a versatile artist: painter, draftsman, watercolorist, 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 toward a more expressive, colorful approach, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He gained fame with 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 loose brushwork and vivid use of color. They painted in and around the city of Leiden. The movement is related to the Hague School. A biography has been written by Willem L. Baars. (not included with the purchase of the work). 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.
