EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor portrait, titled "Portrait of Gerrit van Schoorl" by Dutch artist J de Kruyff, dates back to 1837. The subject of the painting is a rural print merchant named Gerrit van Schoorl, who traveled from place to place selling prints as his livelihood. The full-length portrait showcases van Schoorl in his typical attire of the time, dressed in a long, dark coat with a white shirt, collar, and suspenders. He wears a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a ribbon and carries a portfolio on his back, filled with prints for sale. In his left hand, he holds a tobacco pipe, taking a pensive moment while walking. The vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes bring the historical figure to life, capturing the essence of the 19th century in the Netherlands. The inscription on the reverse of the painting reads, "Rural Print Merchant in Alkmaar," further emphasizing the subject's occupation and the rural setting of the scene. This watercolor painting is a precious piece of art history, offering a glimpse into the daily life and professions of the past.
