More about this artwork

Titled "Portrait of Miss M. Snijder van Wissenkerke in a Meadow with Trees" (1895), this delicate and evocative work by Jan Toorop encapsulates the essence of late 19th-century portrait art. Rendered with exquisite precision, Toorop's pencil drawing captures the refined features of the lady, identified as Miss M. Snijder van Wissenkerke. Her soft gaze seems to be directed at something beyond the immediate vicinity, lending an air of mystery and contemplation to the portrait.The background, subtly sketched, features a tranquil meadow dotted with trees, which frames the subject and enhances the peacefulness of her expression. The naturalistic detail in the trees and foliage contrasts with the smooth, serene countenance of Miss Snijder van Wissenkerke, drawing attention to her gentle disposition.Toorop’s use of intricate lines and delicate shading techniques not only emphasizes the textures of the lady's attire and curly hair but also captures the interplay of light and shadow, a testament to his skill and sensitivity as an artist. The portrait's understated elegance is a hallmark of Toorop's refined aesthetic and his ability to convey depth of character and atmosphere with minimal but potent visual elements.

Jan Toorop (1858–1928) was a 19-century Dutch-Javanese painter who extensively experimented with different artistic styles ranging from Realism, Impressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau to Pointillism. He was famous for using highly stylized slim figures and dynamic lines that were influenced by Indonesian motifs and curvilinear lines. His most famous poster artwork “Delft Salad Oil”, commissioned by The Dutch Oil Company, became so iconic that the Dutch Art Nouveau painting style is given the nickname "the salad oil style". Despite the fact that Toorop's expertise was in producing designs for marketing and advertisements, he also produced a number of fine art pieces that dealt with darker subjects including the human physche and emotions.
