Oil painting. Interior scene. Dimensions: 31 cm x 38 cm Dimensions with frame: 41 cm x 48 cm Signed and dated '1905' lower right 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 befriended the artist Floris Verster and the art critic H.P. Bremmer. Initially Van der Nat worked as an illustrator and lithographer, but around 1900 he devoted himself entirely 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 renown for his paintings of sheep and goats, often made during his stays in Drenthe, but he also painted still lifes, landscapes and Spanish scenes. Van der Nat was co-founder of the Leiden artists' association De Kunst om De Kunst and is counted among the core of the so-called Leiden Impressionists—a group of painters distinguished by their loose brushwork and vivid color usage. They painted in and around the city of Leiden. The movement is related to the Hague School. A biography was written by Willem L. Baars. (not included with the purchase of the work). His work is represented in the collections of several museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum, the De Lakenhal in Leiden, and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo. Viewing is, of course, possible.
