AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A splendid old piece by Toorop.
All still in good condition
Size of the work without the frame is 28.5 x 22.5, almost as large as the frame.
There is some glare in the photos; in person it looks nicer.
Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop, also: Jean Theodor Toorop, (Poerworedjo (Dutch East Indies), 20 December 1858 – The Hague, 3 March 1928)[3] was one of the most important Dutch visual artists of the period 1880-1910.[4] Initially he painted in an impressionist style, but through pointillism he developed into a symbolist painter.
He was also active as a portraitist and designed ceramics, advertising posters and book bindings. Dutch Art Nouveau is often associated with his work. In the last twenty years of his life he was strongly inspired by Roman Catholicism.
He was the father of Charley Toorop, grandfather of the artist Edgar Fernhout and the filmmaker John Fernhout and great-grandfather of Rik Fernhout
