Gerrit Woudt, born in Zaandijk, painted realistically with a romantic undertone. Since for a long time he could not decide between a career as a painter or a musician, he received no training at the academy; he decided to take lessons from several artists. Above all, his contacts with Cees Bolding were decisive for his work: both admired Jan Mankes. During the 1930s, Woudt also spent a lot of time with Wim Wouters, with whom he regularly worked with models. During these years he also began to be successful with his realistic portraits and still lifes.
