Digna Canneman - Bloemenstilleven: Witte Lelies - Sold

Digna Canneman-Boland 1912-2003 Digna Canneman was a daughter of Dr. Gerrit Willem Boland and Adrienne Francoise Gelinck. After studying pedagogy at the University of Leiden, she married Mr Benjamin Richard Canneman, later mayor of Hoorn, in 1936. Her life acquired accents in the social sector, including in the sphere of the women's movement. After the death of her husband she took painting lessons with Carla Schreuder, Roelie Willekes and Sonia van Nispen. In an artistic sense she is a typical late bloomer. It wasn't until after her 70th birthday that she got off to a good start with her watercolors, inspired by nature. For her, this laid the foundation for playing with colours, which she puts down in soft shades according to her aesthetic insights. Flowers and still lifes automatically play a leading role in this. This work is a watercolor, depicting white lilies. Signed on the bottom right as well as on the back. The dimensions of the watercolor are: 45 cm x 35 cm. The watercolor is placed in a passe-partout and it is then framed and fitted with glass. Including the frame, the dimensions are: 66 cm x 57 cm.
