He depicted his landscapes, river views, cityscapes, portraits and genre scenes in a naturalistic-impressionistic style. After he had lived and worked in The Hague, Paris, Rotterdam and Bruges, he settled down in Dordrecht in 1937, where he was captivated by the characteristics of the city and its waters. He then abandoned his historical themes and focussed entirely on the atmosphere of the historic centre of Dordrecht and the Biesbosch.Please note: condition reports and additional photos are available upon request.
