De jonggeborene, a 19th‑century Dutch watercolor signed by the artist and sold with frame.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This atmospheric watercolor shows a woman in a simple rural setting, with a young goat or lamb in her arms and a second animal beside her. The white headscarf, dark clothing and bright blue skirt draw attention to the central figure, who with her calm stance radiates a sense of care and connection with the animal. The artist works with loose, transparent brushstrokes and a warm palette of brown and earthy tones, interspersed with the fresh blue of the skirt. The interior is only sketchily indicated, so the emphasis lies entirely on the woman and the animals. The whole has an intimate, everyday character and evokes the atmosphere of traditional rural life.
Dimensions: 40 cm x 26 cm
Dimensions with frame: 60 cm x 50 cm
The work is signed in the lower left
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 pursued training 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 recognition with his paintings of sheep and goats, often made during his stays in Drenthe, but 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 counted among the core of the so-called Leiden Impressionists — a group of painters distinguished by their loose brushwork and vibrant 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 with purchase of 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.
