Nicolaas van der Waay

about 1855 - about 1936

Born in the Netherlands in 1855, Thérèse Schwartze was a master of academic painting who timelessly captured the radiant light of Amsterdam and the beauty of its inhabitants.

What immortalized her name was a series of works depicting the girls of the Amsterdam Orphanage, adorned in their distinctive red and black uniforms.

Inheriting the tranquil expressions of light from traditional Dutch painting, the gracefully and freshly rendered figures of these women brim with a dignified nobility.

This classical yet unfading aesthetic consciousness brings a dignified intellect to our daily lives, elevating any space to a prestigious and chic level.
