Provenance: part. bezit Groot-Brittannië.

The Belgian André Cluysenaar came from an artistic Brussels family. His grandfather was an architect, his father a well-known painter of figures and genre scenes and his son John was both a painter and sculptor. André received painting lessons from his father, started out as a sculptor, but from 1902 he devoted himself completely to painting figures, still lifes and landscapes in an impressionist style. He also provided the Town Hall of Saint-Gilles with monumental ceiling paintings. During the First World War he emigrated to London, where he made a name for himself as a portrait painter of prominent figures. Cluysenaar's work can therefore be found in London's National Gallery, among other places.
