Artist Biography
Andries Verleur was self-taught and worked as a decorative painter before choosing to become a freelance painter. He then received lessons from Willem Maris and Théophile de Bock. Initially, Verleur lived and worked in Amsterdam. After 1900 he lived successively in Renkum and Baarn, between 1920 and 1931 in Nijkerk, and in 1940 he moved to Soest. Although the painter always lived in a wooded area, he mainly painted landscapes with cattle in an impressionist style that is reminiscent of the Hague School. He also painted a number of water views.
The condition is typical for a picture of this age, including some craquelure to the surface of the painting and scuffs. The old antique frame is charming in all its imperfections.
