A beautiful and historically very interesting early work by the Dutch painter and resistance fighter Rudolph Marie Joseph (Dolf) Bausch (1913-1982) . This atmospheric watercolor depicts an idyllic farmyard with characteristic half-timbered and brick farmhouses, masterfully captured in soft sunlight with beautiful shadows cast by the trees in the foreground. The work bears witness to Bausch's early talent and is signed by the artist with his distinctive initials and surname.
Remarkable historical document
What makes this specific artwork particularly unique is the authentic, handwritten note in blue ink on the back of the original backing plate. It reads: ' made by brother-in-law Dolf Bausch Summer 1941 '. The work was therefore painted in the middle of the war years, just before Bausch was interned in Camp Amersfoort for his resistance activities. This personal inscription from the family circle gives the painting tangible, museum-quality, and historical added value.
About the artist
Dolf Bausch (born in Heerlen) was a respected Dutch painter and resistance fighter. His work is included in the permanent collection of the well-known LAM Museum (Lisser Art Museum) in Lisse, among others. His eventful life and his later marriage in the 1960s to Holocaust survivor and author Betty Bausch-Polak gave his legacy a prominent place in Dutch (war) history. Works by his hand are regularly sought after by enthusiasts of Dutch Post-Impressionist art and historical war documents.
