Born in Utrecht in 1748, Nicolaas Wicart is mainly known as a porcelain painter, active in Loosdrecht between 1777 and 1784, and as a landscape designer in the provinces of South Holland, Gelderland, Brabant and Utrecht. The technique of using primarily blue in his drawings is reminiscent of his work on porcelain.
