Johannes Albertus Hesterman Landscape Countryside Holland Netherlands Oil On Panel 1879

This oil on panel is signed JA Hesterman and dated 1879. It presents a Dutch landscape, with a typical countryside scene with figures and a horse in a cart. The technique is that of traditional Dutch painting, with meticulous work in oil in the rendering of trees, figures and accuracy of composition. Added to this here is a certain naivety in the animation, gentleness in the scene represented. Johannes Albertus Hesterman is also recognized as a restorer (read this article: https://journals.openedition.org/ceroart/3658?lang=fr), and father of the painter of the same name. The panel is reinforced on the back (see photo) and has a slot in the center which is why the reinforcement was probably carried out. Slight dip in the sky).
