Nina on Holiday by Kees Salentijn, Screenprint (Silkscreen) on paper nr. 277/500. The Netherlands, 1970s. This screenprint by Dutch artist Kees Salentijn is part of the artist’s graphic oeuvre from the 1970s, a period in which he explored figurative imagery through experimental printmaking techniques. As Salentijn is a Dutch artist, the original title is appropriately presented here as 'Nina op Vakantie'.

Salentijn is recognized for his experimental use of materials and techniques, as well as for drawing inspiration from Southern European culture, particularly Spain. His work often combines figurative representation with a relaxed, narrative atmosphere, capturing moments of leisure, travel, and everyday observation.

Executed as a silkscreen (screenprint), the composition demonstrates clear, layered color application and graphic clarity characteristic of the medium. The female figure is rendered with a balance of stylization and recognizability, conveying a sense of ease and informality consistent with the theme of travel and vacation.

The print is signed in pencil by the artist and bears an edition number, indicating its place within a larger but finite print run. Such signed and numbered screenprints represent a significant and accessible part of post-war Dutch graphic art, appealing to collectors of modern prints and works on paper. Dimensions Frame: Height 61 Width 51 cm. Visual: Height 38 Width 29 cm.

This is a lively and well-balanced mixed set of six vintage Brabantia kitchen chairs, combining different wood-grain Formica finishes with a striking black leatherette example. Although each chair has its own character, together they form a surprisingly harmonious and cheerful ensemble.

The set features a variety of warm wood-look Formica tones, ranging from lighter honey shades to deeper, richer wood grains, paired with one black leatherette chair that adds contrast and a slightly graphic touch. All chairs share the classic Brabantia tubular steel frames, giving the set a strong visual coherence and the solid quality Brabantia is known for.

What makes this set special is exactly that mix: it feels collected rather than matched, playful rather than rigid. Perfect for a kitchen or dining area where uniformity is less important than atmosphere, personality, and vintage charm. Dimensions: Height 81,5 Width 38 Depth 47 Seating height 46 cm.

Blue Village Scene by W. Scheijgrond, acrylic on board, Netherlands (attributed), mid–late 20th century. This figurative painting, made by W. Scheijgrond, presents a compact, lively village scene rendered predominantly in blue tones and primary colors. The composition is built from a mosaic of small color planes that together form rooftops, modest houses, tiny figures and flowering patches — a hybrid of figurative representation and near-abstract color patchwork. The overall effect is playful and decorative: small human presences and floral accents animate a gently undulating village landscape.

The artist’s handling is confident yet economical: short, directional brushstrokes define texture and surface while a limited chromatic range (dominantly blue with warm highlights) unifies the scene. The scale and composition give the work an intimate, “folk-modern” quality — a mid-century domestic painting that balances narrative suggestion with graphic surface patterning.

No firm biographical record for W. Scheijgrond was available at time of cataloguing; the attribution is therefore presented cautiously. The work should be regarded as a representative example of regional mid-20th-century figurative practice—charming and decorative, suitable for interiors and collectors of mid-century vernacular painting. Dimensions Frame: Height 62 Width 85 cm. Visual: Height 60,5 Width 83,5 cm.

This abstract painting, signed by “Baards”, is attributed to a Dutch artist active during the 1960s–1970s. Executed in oil on canvas, the work presents a vivid and loosely structured composition dominated by a central explosion of color.

The painting is characterized by blended pigment, soft transitions, and smudged passages in which color appears to be wiped or diffused across the surface. The composition lacks defined forms, instead relying on intuitive gesture and chromatic interaction. The overall effect resembles a color constellation or chromatic burst, with energy concentrated toward the center of the canvas.

Stylistically, the work aligns with a broad category of decorative abstraction common in the Netherlands during the post-war decades, when many studio painters experimented with expressive color fields and informal techniques without pursuing strict compositional or conceptual frameworks.

While visually energetic, the painting does not demonstrate a distinctive personal style or advanced technical refinement. It should therefore be regarded as a modest example of mid-20th-century Dutch abstract painting, representative of its period rather than of individual artistic significance.
