This oil painting on canvas by Wilm Wouters (1887-1957) is signed in the lower left corner. The frame is somewhat damaged.

Wilm Wouters' artistic career began relatively late. The artist from The Hague was a sailor and diamond cutter before enrolling at the Amsterdam Rijksacademie around 1907. During that time, he had his studio in De Pijp, where he was a regular visitor of the famous Jan-Steenzolder of Leo Gestel. The figurative style Wouters learned at the academy was continued when he lived in Volendam between 1915 and 1928, where he painted interiors and figures. He married one of the daughters of the hotelier Leendert Spaander. In the 1920s, Wouters briefly painted realistic still lifes and flowers in Amsterdam. Later, he mainly focused on figures and portraits.

The artwork is available for viewing in our gallery. Additionally, Art Dumay has a framing workshop (celebrating its 85th anniversary this year) and a restoration studio. Should you wish to make use of these services, we would be happy to assist you.
