JOHAN HENDRIK DOELEMAN
(Dutch, 1848-1913)
DUTCH LANDSCAPE
Oil on Mahogany Panel
8 x 13 Inches
Signed Lower Right
Framed by Richard Tobey

Born in Rotterdam, Doeleman studied there at the Kunst Academy and then in the Hague. He lived for many years in Voorburg, painting finely-crafted lowlands landscapes that evolved over the course of his career from the darker Munich School style to a lighter palette with more intuitive and impressionistic paint-handling. He is particularly notable for his refined and subtle brushwork. This fine, late example of his work shows him at the peak of his powers.
