Japonisme (Japanese Woman in Kimono)
Black oil-based ink, pencil and yellow wash on thick brown paper, 1917, 444 x 283 mm.
A wonderfully drawn, blotted, scribbled and otherwise decorated sheet by a highly interesting Dutch avant-garde artist who engaged with Impressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau and Japonisme, quite like an equivalent Frenchman but about twenty years later on all fronts. The verso of the sheet shows red-chalk architectural studies together with more scribbling and blotting. Henricus was born and studied in the Hague and spent some years in Paris and in Tunisia. He was active as a painter, decorator, printmaker and book illustrator and probably would be a far better-known figure had he been born in France, Germany or Austria.
