Bernard J. Blommers, The Hague, 1845 - 1914, The Hague The supper Oil on board 50 x 41 cm Signed bottom right Painted about 1880 The ambience is typical for Blommers who find a intimistic and anecdotic style to portray the way of life of the middle-class. With this work he reached to the level of his friend Jozef Israels who often advises him in his work. The gray atmosphere illustrates the way of painting of the painters of the so-called "Hague School". Provenance: Private collection in the Netherlands.
