Piet Schipperus ( 1840 - 1929 )

Piet Schipperus (Dutch) only made oil paintings later in

his life. His watercolours are well known and mostly

in a still romantic style though he is believed to be a fore-

runner of the "The Hague School". In this watercolour all

the elements of the Romantic Era are there: The treatment

of the sky but certainly the sunlight that hits the trees on the

right. The hills in the background are betraying this to be

made in Limburg, a southern part of The Netherlands.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 27,5 / 38 cm.

Though not very well readable I will publish it allready

as this signature is spot on and reads: P A Schipperus

as he allways did. Regarding its' age this watercolour

is in very good condition, not sticked and not any

damages of any kind...
