Meisje met vlechten, an oil on canvas portrait from the 1940s in the Expressionism style, originating from the Netherlands and sold with a frame.
Description from the seller
Oil painting on canvas with a portrait of a young girl with braided hair. The work dates from 1942, an early period in Roëde's artistic career, in which he mastered painting.
The girl is depicted as a bust and fills a large part of the square image field. The dark clothing and the brown hair stand out against a light background. The composition is austere, fully concentrated on the model, with the braids framing the face on both sides.
The painting is signed and dated in the upper right corner. Oil on canvas, image size about 40.5 × 40 cm (stated work size 41 × 41 cm); dimensions with frame 55 × 55 cm.
Artist biography
Jan Roëde (Groningen, 1914 – The Hague, 2007) was a Dutch painter and draftsman who worked for most of his life in The Hague. At the outset of World War II he chose to pursue the artist's profession and received painting instruction from Willem Hussem. His early work was still realist in character; he later abandoned this pictorial language.
After his first exhibition in 1945 at Kunsthandel Liernur in The Hague, Roëde was invited to the traveling exhibition Twaalf Schilders, which was shown, among others, at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. He was active within the progressive Hague art milieu of the postwar years and in 1947 participated in the exhibition Experimentelen van de Haagsche Kunstkring.
