Jan Sirks (Rotterdam, February 23, 1885 – Zeist, March 11, 1938)
Jan Sirks was a Dutch graphic artist who focused on painting, watercolouring, drawing and etching of the ports of Rotterdam, animals, cityscapes and landscapes in a romantic realistic style. Sirks was co-founder of the Rotterdam artist group “De Branding”.
In 2004 a biography and overview of his work was published (ISBN 906 216 640 7 – NUR 642/646). There is also a website dedicated to him, thanks to his wife, daughter and granddaughter Yosay Briels, who also wrote an English biography about him “The Dutch Artist and His Muse”. (ISBN 978-1545151792)
There is no certainty about the scope of his work. The numbers range from 200 etchings to over 300 works.
About 65 etchings by Jan Sirks that are owned by Jan Sirks are depicted on the website and Facebook page of Rijnmond Toen, including the etching that is now being offered.
In excellent condition.

The etching is part of the Rijnmond Toen collection and was carefully cleaned upon receipt, made acid-free and then stored in an acid-free archive box.
In the left margin, well outside the image area, there is a superficial tear, sealed on the reverse with acid-free tape. (See the relevant image)
Due to my age, the collection is gradually being reduced.
A second copy of the same etching is available in the collection, see collection no. 139-JS.
