Violinist

Unknown

About the Item

Engelina (Engelien) Reitsma-Valença (3 May 1889 - 11 July 1981) Amsterdam, Netherland. The portrait is of a violinist playing what appears to be an enervating piece. An engraver, stamp maker and painter of repute, she started by learning diamond cutting from her father and she went on to become an accomplished artist. She won the Prix de Rome and studied Italy before returning to Amsterdam. The date of this piece is unknown but is likely from the early 1900's. Wonderful, but unknown, watermark on the paper. See photos.
