Dolf Zwerver - The swallow hears me - Sold

A rare and beautiful etching drawing of a swallow with a circle and text, made by Dolf Zwerver. His work also hangs in the Rijksmuseum and other museums.

Dolf Zwerver, a Frisian artist, moved to Utrecht before World War II, where he held various jobs before turning to painting in the late 1950s. His work, characterized by dreamy landscapes and reflections on his youth in Oranjewoud and the Rhijnauwen estate, was initially associated with naive art. His best-known work, Groot Drieluik Sanssouci, was created over a period of ten years. Zwerver's art can be found in various museums, including the Centraal Museum in Utrecht and the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. He was affiliated with the Genootschap Kunstliefde and is buried in the Soestbergen cemetery in Utrecht.

The last photo shows Dolf Zwerver.

In the drawing we see a swallow beautifully depicted in Naive Art, tight and sober. Around the swallow are tiny texts written. These texts would inspire everyone to read quietly and thus understand the art and the artist. I will save the content of the text for the buyer. In the photos you can see an example. The art was once framed on a wooden board with a passe-partout and glass. This Dutch work of art probably dates from 1975. All non-Dutch speaking people will be happily surprised about this work of art with Google Translate.

The dimensions of the drawing are 32 cm by 23.5 cm. The drawing itself is 12 by 12 cm.

The artwork is signed "D. Zwerver" and on the back it says "72. 1/1".

The condition of the etching on paper is excellent, but the passe-partout is discoloured by age and the glass has some pieces missing. All this gives a charm to the drawing.

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a work of art by Dolf Zwerver at art auction. A drawing that will interest everyone and will look beautiful in any interior. It will be very carefully packed and shipped insured.
