Dutch School Landscape With Farmhouse

Dutch School Landscape With FarmhouseA light filled summertime landscape depicting a woman feeding chickens outside a small farmhouse. The paint is applied with daubs from a broad brush and perhaps the artist worked en plein air. We particularly love the opening on the right hand side, which provides a view across to a distant woodland. The painting is signed GJ Delfgaauw in the lower right, so its probably by a follower of Gerardus Johannes Delfgaauw (1882 1947). Medium: Oil on

Did she ask for a portrait or did he send it to her as a surprise

the popularity of the Joffers within society at the time created plenty of mingling opportunities for Peizel who was never short of a commission
