Antique Oil Painting on Board by H. G. Ontrop (1880-1955)

Price: $398

Antique Oil Painting on Board by H. G. Ontrop (1880-1955) is a slightly more impressionistic work than typical for the artist, with wispy brush strokes and exquisite command of the color palette that is a trademark of his work.  The bustling seaside city of Rotterdam is depicted, with a barge and launches plowing the waters besieged by sea gulls.  In the background a scene-filling cityscape complete with multi-storied residential buildings, commercial waterfront enterprises, and even a thatch-roofed marina appear.  Hints of human interest dot the study throughout the work adding visual intrigue.
