AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Drawing by Willem van der Nat depicting a man with his donkey. The work may originate from his trip to Spain, a period during which he often drew donkeys. With only black, white, and a touch of green, he creates a clear and convincing image.

Dimensions: 25 cm x 41 cm
Dimensions with frame: 42 cm x 57 cm
The work is signed and dated '1924' in the bottom right.
The work is in a neat list.

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 studied in The Hague and Leiden, where he became friends with artist Floris Verster and art critic H.P. Bremmer.

Initially, Van der Nat worked as an illustrator and lithographer, but around 1900 he fully dedicated himself to painting. His style evolved from the influence of the Hague School to a more expressive, colorful approach, partly inspired by Van Gogh and Millet. He gained fame with his paintings of sheep and goats, often created during his stays in Drenthe, but he also painted still lifes, landscapes, and Spanish scenes.

Van der Nat was a co-founder of the Leiden artists' association De Kunst om De Kunst and is considered part of 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 included with artwork purchase). 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.

A viewing is of course possible.
