Jan Sirks (Rotterdam, 23 February 1885 - Zeist, 11 March 1938) was a Dutch graphic designer who mostly did painting, watercolours, drawings and etches of the Rotterdam harbours, animals, cityscapes and landscapes in a romantic realistic style. Sirks was a founding member of the Rotterdam-based artists group "De Branding". Despite the fact that Sirks was an autodidact, he was one of the few locals who in the art world has had a relatively good existence. The painting shows a beautiful panorama of a landscape, with sewer and boat. The work is enclosed in a wooden frame with ornaments. The painting comes from a private collection. Condition: in a good state. Frame: framed in a ornaments frame. Signed at the lower left. During the auction the work can be seen at Art Dumay in Nuenen.
