Description from the seller
Small but powerful work by Willem de Zwart, executed in oil on canvas. It shows a farmer at a farmstead, depicted in bold, simple brushstrokes.
Wilhelmus Henricus Petrus Johannes (Willem) de Zwart (The Hague, 16 May 1862 – died there, 11 December 1931) was a Dutch painter, draftsman, etcher, watercolorist and ceramic painter. His oeuvre spans a wide variety of subjects, including landscapes, cityscapes, portraits and still lifes, executed in a naturalistic-impressionist style. Within the Hague School De Zwart held a special position thanks to his exuberant and powerful use of color. At the same time his work shows clear affinity with Amsterdam impressionism, in which urban life and the human being are central. In his choice of subjects he aligns with the Hague School, while his style and palette bring him closer to the Amsterdam impressionists. For that reason he is also called the 'Hague Breitner'.
Work by Willem de Zwart is, among others, in the collections of the Kunstmuseum Den Haag and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo.
