The painter Herman Paradies, who died in 1966, is known by many Rotterdammers and Schiedammers. Painted, water-coloured and drawn cityscapes in old parts of Rotterdam and Schiedam. His work shows a lot of affinity with his contemporary J.H. van Mastenbroek. Both were cousins. His work also found its way to America, something that Paradies, looking back on his career, was very proud of. Many collectors in Rotterdam and Schiedam have his work hanging on the wall. He was a member of the Schiedam artists' community. Condition: good. The work is framed in the original simple white-coloured wooden frame. Details: The work is of private origin. The work has been set up quickly and very aptly by the artist and in some places you can see the brown underlay that has not been consciously painted by the artist. Dimensions including frame: 44 cm x 61.5 cm (h x w) Dimensions without frame: 36 cm x 54 cm (h x w) Signed at the bottom right. Edition: original
