Jan Toorop (1858-1928) - Overgave

A splendid old little work by Toorop. This piece dates from the 1920s and is still in very good condition. The size of the work without the frame is 28 x 21.5 cm. There is a bit of reflection in the photos; in real life it is more beautiful. Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop, also: Jean Theodor Toorop, (Poerworedjo (Dutch East Indies), 20 December 1858 – The Hague, 3 March 1928)[3] was one of the most important Dutch visual artists from the period 1880-1910.[4] Initially he painted in an impressionist style, but through pointillism he developed into a symbolist painter. He was also active as a portraitist and designed ceramics, advertising posters and book bindings. Dutch Art Nouveau is often associated with his work. In the last twenty years of his life he was strongly inspired by Roman Catholicism. He was the father of Charley Toorop, the grandfather of the artist Edgar Fernhout and the filmmaker John Fernhout, and the great-grandfather of Rik Fernhout.
