Evert Moll is best known for his scenes of the port of Rotterdam and navigation on the Nieuwe Maas in the 1920s and 1930s of the last century. Begun around 1900, as a follower of the Hague School, he soon shifted his work to the docks and bridges of Rotterdam. Also the dynamics of the port authority formed a source of inspiration for the painter. In addition, he also excelled in several other genres. He also painted cityscapes, landscapes and colourful, bold flower still lifes. Evert Mol was self-taught but received guidance from Willem Maris and Willem Roelofs. Painter Evert Moll lived and worked between 1895 and 1930 in Voorburg, London, Paris, the Hague, and Rotterdam. He then settled in the Hague. There, he received advice from Willem Maris and then further educated himself. He made many works that were commissioned by art dealers from the United States and Canada. Evert Moll painted landscapes, though especially river, sea and harbour views and, in his later years, also still lifes. The painting comes from a private collection. During the auction, it is possible to view the artwork at art dealer Art Dumay in Nuenen.
