Jan Sirks (Rotterdam, February 23, 1885 - Zeist, March 11, 1938) was a Dutch graphic artist who focused on painting, watercolor painting, 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". Despite the fact that Sirks was self-taught, he was one of the few Rotterdammers who had a relatively good existence in the art world.
