Description

This bright and vibrant oil depicts a flourishing Indonesian landscape, focused around a blossoming flamboyant tree. In the foreground a figure can be seen in a sea of yellow grass, harvesting medicinal blooms from the tree's lower branches. The artwork bears the signature G. P. Adolfs to the lower right. However, we do not believe the work is by Gerard Pieter Adolfs (1898-1968). The painting comes well presented in a substantial gilt-effect frame. On canvas on stretchers.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age, including some discolouration caused by a build-up of surface dirt. The condition of the picture frame is good, with only one gilt touch-up visible to the right-hand side. There is a small canvas hole near the centre of the composition.

Size

58 x 78cm (22.8" x 30.7")
Framed Size: 72.5 x 92cm (28.5" x 36.2")

Artist Biography

Gerard Pieter Adolfs was a Dutch painter and architect. His oeuvre was diverse in both medium and subject, comprising paintings, drawings, etchings and sketches. Adolfs travelled through many countries for inspiration. Among his favoured places were Java, Bali and Japan. He earned the appellation of “The Wizard of Light" by the way he painted the ordinary lives of the native people steeped in an atmospheric tropical sun.
