A beautiful and guaranteed authentic artwork by the famous Dutch master Constant Artz (1870–1951).
This large oil painting on wooden panel depicts his absolute most beloved and sought-after subject: an intimate family of ducks by the water's edge.
Whereas many of his small panels are executed in a very small size, this is an above-average format of approximately 63 x 42 cm (inner panel dimensions).
Artistic style and representation:
The work is executed in the style of Dutch Impressionism with strong roots in the Hague School.
Artz demonstrates his mastery here in capturing natural light and reflection.
The reflection of the mother duck in the shimmering, dark water and the play of light on the compact, lively group of no fewer than 8 yellow ducklings give the panel beautiful depth and dynamism.
The brushstroke is precise, fluid, and atmospheric.
Conclusive Provenance (Back):
The authenticity and history of this work are excellently documented.
On the reverse is the original studio sticker/intake statement dated October 20, 2001, from the well-known and respected Gooi restorer, appraiser, and frame maker AJ (Toon) Wildeboer (Hilversum/Laren).
This statement also includes the official, handwritten reference to the leading artists' lexicon by PA Scheen and the original order number 410.
Processing and delivery:
Given the fragility, the heavy ornamental frame, and the larger size of this antique panel, the work can only be collected in Loosdrecht. This also offers the buyer the opportunity to admire the painting in peace and quiet upon transfer.
