Mari ten Kate - Hunting scene at Zorgvliet

*Title: Hunting scene at Zorgvliet by Johan Mari Henri ten Kate**

This painting, painted by Johan Mari Henri ten Kate (1831-1910), shows a hunting scene on the Zorgvliet estate. Ten Kate, a Dutch artist known for his romantic style, creates a lively scene with hunters in a natural environment.

Zorgvliet, located in The Hague, has a rich history and is known for its beautiful landscapes and water features. The estate was originally owned by the Prince of Orange and later sold to various owners.

In the 1893 edition of Elsevier's Geïllustreerd Maandschrift this painting, including an illustration of it, is discussed.
Ten Kate's work, measuring 128 cm x 212 cm, is a perfect example of his skill.


Ten Kate was born on 4 March 1831 in The Hague and studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague and at the State Academy in Amsterdam.
He worked in the Romantic style and mainly made genre works and figure pieces with children, whom he strongly idealized.
His works have a strong narrative character and can be found in collections of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the Teylers Museum in Haarlem, and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo

The painting comes from the family collection but because the house has been sold it cannot hang in any of the children's homes due to its size. It is now neatly packed in storage. If desired I could (at cost price) organize transport within the Netherlands via the logistics service provider where it is now located.
