Beautiful watercolor made by George Martens for ''Janneke de Grave (1878-1958)''. Janneke de Grave was a female member of the Groninger Ploeg.
George Martens was one of the founders of the Groninger Kunstkring De Ploeg in 1918. Before that time, he had already established himself as a painter and was particularly successful with portrait assignments. Under the influence of Jan Wiegers in particular, he began to register his subjects quickly and directly and his use of color became free and exuberant. Martens was involved in various subjects: Groningen cityscapes, landscapes, still lifes, portraits, figure studies and - characteristic of him - fairground and circus scenes and motorcycle races. After 1929 his work was characterized by a slightly less wild character and the use of a palette knife alternated with brush in a smooth oil paint. Martens also made posters, woodcuts and designs for (wall) tapestries.
