Description: | Signed: yes Description: A large sky filled with scudding clouds hangs over this waterlogged landscape. Two peasant women, in traditional dress (white caps and blue dresses) walk together to the left. In the foreground ducks gather and, on the horizon, the town of Meerkirk is delineated. Mollinger was a talented artist, whose work was greatly admired by his peers, but his life was cut short by consumption and he died at the age of only thirty-one. Nevertheless he had an enormous effect on his Scottish artist friends, including George Reid, who studied with him and adopted Mollinger's distinctive tonal treatment and emphasis on the horizontal. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (duck) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mollinger, Gerrit Alexander Godart Filip (Dutch painter, 1836-1867) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9193... | Go to resource |
