Frans de Momper

Winter Landscape

Oil on panel (parquetted). 39 x 67 cm.
Signed on the house in the right foreground: f. d. momper.

The paintings by Frans de Momper are characterised by the expansive and generous composition of the landscapes as well as a striking rendering of the leafless trees in the foreground. The artist especially favoured winter landscapes, which he painted using almost the entire spectrum of brown tones available to him.
We would like to thank Ellis Dullaart (RKD, The Hague) for confirming the authenticity of this work upon examination of high-resolution photographs. The piece will be included in the RKD database.
