Wilhelmus Hendrikus Petrus Johannes 'Willem' de Zwart, who is counted among the youngest generation of painters of the Hague School, is sometimes referred to as the 'Haagse Breitner'. In his choice of subjects he belonged to the Hague School, in his style and use of color to the Amsterdam Impressionists. His landscapes, cityscapes, figure paintings, portraits and still lifes show a smooth, daring brushstroke. De Zwart applied the paint thickly, sometimes directly from a tube, with bright touches of color in bold reds, yellows and blues, which give a special liveliness to his paintings.
