Description from the seller
Small but powerful work by Willem de Zwart, executed in oil on canvas. It shows a farmer at a farm, rendered in bold, simple brushstrokes.
Wilhelmus Henricus Petrus Johannes (Willem) de Zwart (Den Haag, 16 May 1862 – there, 11 December 1931) was a Dutch painter, draftsman, etcher, watercolorist and printmaker. His oeuvre encompasses a wide variety of subjects, including landscapes, cityscapes, portraits and still lifes, executed in a naturalistic-impressionist style. Within the Hague School he occupied a special position thanks to his exuberant and powerful use of color. At the same time, his work shows a clear affinity with Amsterdam Impressionism, in which urban life and the human figure 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 this reason he is also referred to as the ‘Hague Breitner.’
Works by Willem de Zwart are among others in the collections of the Kunstmuseum Den Haag and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo.
