Drawing / Watercolour by the Belgian, Dutch etcher Dirk Baksteen (1886-1971). The Baksteen brothers are linked to the painter Jakob Smits. He eventually settled in the Antwerp Kempen with the city of Mol as a base. Despite his controversial role in WWII, Dirk enjoys a high reputation (as an artist). One of the best etchers the Low Countries have ever known.
The Jakob Smits museum in Mol contains a large collection of Dirk Baksteen's work. In addition, his work is also beginning to gain popularity outside Belgium/the Netherlands. For example, you can also find his oeuvre in various American museums, including the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
