Adriaan Christiaan Willem Terhell (Venlo, March 7, 1863 - Beverwijk, 28 April 1949) was a Dutch painter who worked in the Romantic tradition. He lived and worked in Bussum until 1885 and after that in The Hague until 1943. He was appointed in 1899 for many years as painter of the family coats of arms by the Hoge Raad van Adel. During the last years of his life he resided in Twente, in Denekamp and Enschede as well as other places. Terhell was a painter who has left a large oeuvre, consisting of landscapes, sea and river views, village and city views under his own name but also under the pseudonyms of J. le Blanc, Ch. Petit, P. L. Jacoby and, to a lesser extent, C. de Zeeuw. In addition to oil paintings, he also made watercolours and gouaches. Terhell died at the age of 86 in Beverwijk, his last place of residence. Terhell’s works are still very regularly offered by art galleries, antique dealers and auctions at home and abroad. Especially in America his stereotypical Dutch scenes are in great demand. This is a beautiful watercolour in good condition, in frame with mat. Image shows fishermen on the beach, a barge and the fishing people. Signed on the front and back. See the pictures. The stripes on the photos are due to reflections in glass; it was difficult to photograph. The painting is in perfect condition.
