Very nice work by Toorop, you don't come across this often and in the original frame.
There is reflection in the photos, in reality it is more beautiful, it is in excellent condition.
Jan (Johann Theodorus) Toorop was born in Poerworedjo on Java.
Toorop took a drawing course at the Polytechnic School in Delft (1876-1879). He also studied at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam (1880-1882) and at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels (1882-1885). He also devoted himself to sculpture and applied art. In the Netherlands he became the leader of the Art Nouveau movement. Because of the many irregularly curved lines, people at that time also spoke of the 'slaolie' style. This name refers to a well-known advertising poster that Jan Toorop made for 'Delftsche slaolie'. Jan Toorop was not only a painter, draftsman, etcher and lithographer, but also designed tile tableaus, stained glass windows and stamps.
In 1905 he converted to Catholicism, after which he painted almost exclusively religious subjects and portraits in a more geometric style. He also managed to inspire other artists in his turn.
For example, Toorop was a great source of inspiration for Gustav Klimt.
