Description from the seller

Wilhelmus Jacobus Kerremans (1828-1889)
‘Letter-writing Lady by Lamplight’
Oil on panel
Signed top left: ‘Kerremans’

• For best quality photos, view these on a laptop or computer •

A picture-perfect scene of a lady reading a letter under the glow of a lamppost. A cat keeps her company. A wonderful intimate and warm representation. The original frame completes this into a gorgeous whole.

Jacobus Kerremans has captured this wonderfully and paid great attention to detail. He was born in Breda and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Besides painting, he was also a watercolorist and photographer. He became famous for his candle- and lamp-light scenes, of which this is one. Scenes like this are often the most cherished.
