Hand-signed etching by Hendrik Weegewijs (1875-1964). Received from a family member. The etching is brightly colored and shows an old house in Hilversum with two figures.
Hendrik Weegewijs was born in 1875 in Nieuwer-Amstel (now Amstelveen). He lived and worked in Buiksloot, Edam, Volendam, Gasselte, Assen, Drouwen, Ghent, Blaricum, Laren, Amsterdam, Hilversum and Eemnes, among other places.
He was a pupil at the Drawing School for Arts and Crafts, the National School of Applied Arts and the National Academy of Visual Arts in Amsterdam - under the direction of August Allebé, among others. - From 1901 he spent a lot of time in 't Gooi and developed himself there as a successor to the "Mauve landscapes" with sheep. Over the years he also lived for longer periods in Drenthe, where he was particularly fascinated by the landscape and farm life. Later he returned to the west of the Netherlands and continued to paint and draw still lifes, village scenes and landscapes.
