About the Item

Abraham Verveer was born in The Hague in 1885. Verveer was trained at the Royal Academy of Art in his hometown, where he received a solid foundation in both painting and drawing in the Dutch style. His early work was influenced by the Romantic movement, a style characterized by a focus on emotion, nature, and the sublime. He gained recognition for his ability to capture the dynamic relationship between light, water, and sky in his landscape paintings. Many of his works are deeply influenced by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, which explore nature and light. His works often depict coastal scenes, harbor views, and expansive skies, infused with a sense of drama and movement that reflected the changing moods of nature. Throughout his career, he was primarily active in the Netherlands but also spent time in Belgium and France, drawing inspiration from the natural world and urban scenes. His work was exhibited at the Royal Dutch Academy of Fine Arts, the Paris Salon, the 1870 exhibition in Rotterdam, and various Dutch art societies.

"Interior Scene" Dutch 19th century signed watercolor
By Herman ten Kate
Located in New York, NY
Herman Frederick Ten Kate 1822 - The Hague - 1891 Interior Scene Watercolor on paper 9 1/4 x 13 1/4 inches (23.4 x 33.6 cm) Framed: 17 x 21 ½ inches (43 x 54.6 cm) Signed lower right Provenance: Private Collection, USA Herman Ten Kate spent most of his life in The Hague although he did occasionally travel to Amsterdam and Haarlem. He was a member of the Royal Academy in Amsterdam in 1847. He was a student of Cornelis Krusemans from 1837 to 1841. Ten Kate generally depicted friendly genre scenes as well as scenes with soldiers inspired by the 80 years war. His work is generally of watercolor and lithographs. Our sheet offers a quiet scene in which two gentlemen are featured, each sporting the extravagant hats, vests and tall boots typical of the 19th century, inspired by the 17th century Guardroom scenes. One man rests against the back of a chair, his face marked with a serious expression, his left hand gesturing toward the other man seated at the table. The seated figure wears a rather bemused expression as he composes a letter, apparently taking delight in his endeavor. The two figures are surrounded by various objects cluttering the room, which Ten Kate employs for the specific means of compositional balance. The various interior elements -- a long wooden table...
