The painter, watercolourist and draftsman Simon Andreas Krausz was born in The Hague. He was taught by Léonard Defrance in Liège and then attended the Haagse Teekenacademie. The painter made a name for himself with early romantic ice scenes and landscapes. His fine animal and figure studies are also known. Krausz was a member of the Confrèrie Pictura, a sort of successor to the St Lucasgilde in The Hague, which counted many gifted painters from The Hague among its members. He was a teacher of Hendrikus van de Sande Bakhuyzen.
