Nakken Willem Carel The Hague 1835 – 1926 Rijswijk Dutch Painter 'Girl with Grapes' Signature: signed lower right 'W. K. Nakken' Medium: oil on panel Dimensions: frame size 25,5 x 20,5 cm, frame size 40 x 35 cm Biography: Willem Carel Nakken was born in The Hague on 9 April 1835. He was a Dutch painter, watercolourist, and draughtsman, renowned for his lively animal paintings, genre scenes, and landscapes. Nakken was born in The Hague, the son of wine merchant Jan Willem Nakken and Harmina Katrina Kamperman. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague and at the Antwerp Art Academy. Nakken was a pupil of Anthonie Franciscus Dona, who was known for his paintings of cattle, and he developed into a skilled painter of genre scenes, landscapes, city views, still lifes, and animals, earning particular recognition as a painter of horses. Around 1859, he worked for some time in Oosterbeek, and he undertook study trips to Normandy, painting in Le Havre and Honfleur. Nakken painted extensively in the surroundings of The Hague, including on the beach at Scheveningen, and also worked outside his home region in the Ardennes and in South Limburg. In the latter part of his life, he lived in Rijswijk, near The Hague. Nakken was a member of the artists’ society Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam, the painters’ society Pulchri Studio, and the Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij in The Hague. He exhibited in both The Hague and Amsterdam. His work is included in the collections of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Gemeentemuseum The Hague, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Arnhem Museum, and the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem. Willem Carel Nakken passed away in January 1926 at the age of 90 in his home in Rijswijk. He was buried on 7 January 1926 at the Nieuwe Algemene Begraafplaats in Rijswijk.

Harvesting Plums - Scottish 1930's Glasgow School art portrait oil painting
Located in London, GB
This superb Scottish Glasgow Girl 1930's portrait oil painting is by noted female artist Jessie M. McGeehan. McGeehan studied at the Glasgow School of art, enrolling at the age of 15 in 1888 and her last recorded attendance was in 1895. While at Glasgow School of Art, Jessie associated with prominent Scottish artists including Margaret Macdonald and Frances MacDonald of the Glasgow Four. She also later studied in Paris. This gorgeous vibrant Scottish School style portrait is just superb. The composition is of a young girl in a blue dress, her sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She has little gold hoops in each ear and a bow in her dark hair. She is gazing at the artist/viewer with dark eyes. She is sat in the foreground with a large wicker basket of purple plums and a couple of heads of garlic clasped on her lap. Above her are branches of a tree, laden with fruit. A line of slender silver tree trunks lead past a bed of orange pumpkins to a whitewashed cottage with a woman standing in the doorway. The sunshine is illuminating the scene and casting strong shadows. The brushwork is bold, the colours vibrant and the dark outlines typical of the Scottish School artists. This is a really charming oil painting by a noted female Scottish artist and one of the best examples of her work. Signed and dated (19)32 upper right. Provenance. Yorkshire estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 21 inches by 18 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a light ornate frame, 28 inches by 25 inches, in good condition. Jessie Mary McGeehan (1872–1950) was a Scottish artist renowned for her painting and mosaic work, often depicting genre scenes, landscapes and figures. McGeehan was born in Airdrie and her father Patrick was a carriage hirer. An artistic family, Patrick exhibited a painting Royal Scottish Academy in 1879 and the artist Aniza McGeehan (1874–1962) was Jessie's younger sister. Both sisters studied at the Glasgow School of Art, Jessie being enrolled at the age of 15 in 1888 and last recorded as attending in 1895. Their younger sister Mary Catherine (1877–1960), later known as Sister Callista, also attended Glasgow School of Art from the age of nine. Jessie McGeehan also studied in Paris after leaving Glasgow School of Art. McGeehan's work included paintings, pastels, stained glass, mosaics and tapestry designs. She was active from 1892 and exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy from 1895 with the work Sweet Idleness until 1916. From 1897 McGeehan lived and had a studio at 134 Bath Street, Glasgow, which was shared with Aniza until 1899. By 1936 she had moved to 152A Renfrew Street as advertised in the 'Glasgow Observer'. In 1901 McGeehan exhibited the work The Victorian Era at the Royal Academy in London. McGeehan's 1929 oil portrait of her sister Aniza is in the North Lanarkshire Museums collections. This was one of two oil paintings exhibited in the 1929 Walker Art Gallery Autumn Exhibition. Jessie McGeehan created a glass mosaic panel for St Augustine’s Church in Langloan, Coatbridge. She also created a glass mosaic in fourteen panels depicting the Stations of the Cross for St Aloysius...
