Opgeruimde boot is a 19th‑century Dutch drawing in chalk by Willem Hendrik van der Nat.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This drawing shows a small boat stored in a hay storage. With black chalk the artist powerfully renders the scene on paper. Through a deliberate play of light and dark he creates depth and atmosphere: the interior space of the storage is rendered in dark tones, while the surroundings are worked out in lighter tones. This creates a beautiful contrast and gives the composition a spatial and almost tangible character.
Dimensions: 18 cm x 37 cm
Dimensions with frame: 40 cm x 57 cm

Willem Hendrik van der Nat (Leiden, 1864–1929) was a versatile artist: painter, draftsman, watercolorist, sculptor, etcher, illustrator and lithographer. He began his first drawing lessons at a young age and later studied in The Hague and Leiden, where he befriended the artist Floris Verster and the art critic H.P. Bremmer.
Initially Van der Nat worked as an illustrator and lithographer, but around 1900 he dedicated himself entirely to painting. His style evolved from the influence of the Hague School to a more expressive, colorful approach, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He gained fame for his paintings of sheep and goats, often created during his stays in Drenthe, but he also painted still lifes, landscapes and Spanish scenes.
Van der Nat was a 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 vibrant use of color. He painted in and around the city of Leiden. The movement is related to the Hague School. There is a biography written by Willem L. Baars. (not with the purchase of the work).
His work is represented in the collections of several museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum, the De Lakenhal in Leiden, and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterloo.
Viewing is, of course, possible.
