AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Borgert Carolus van Ettinger, the man who for decades captured the 'Den Haag of the postwar years' on hundreds of paintings. Seated on the luggage rack, he painted his canvases, which he had clamped to his bicycle.
Carolus "Bol" van Ettinger was a well-known figure in the Hague street scene, recognized by passersby as the 'Cycling Rembrandt' or 'Rembrandt on the bike'. He found his subjects mainly in the picturesque neighborhoods in and around the old Hague city centre. In doing so, he immortalized the city as many older Hagenaars remember it from their youth. Houses, streets and squares that have disappeared, the atmosphere of the real Den Haag from the 1950s, '60s and '70s — they are all to be found in the images that van Ettinger created day in and day out outdoors.
Painted on painter's panel, size 60x80 cm.
In very good condition, newly framed.
The frame is supplied free of charge with the work within the Netherlands; outside the Netherlands, frame not included or available on request.
The work is carefully packaged and shipped internationally by registered mail.
