Mid-century abstract work on paper by Dolf Breetvelt — a dynamic mixed-technique composition circa 1950, signed with the characteristic pencil “B,” framed and well-preserved.
This expressive mixed-media work on paper (48 × 58 cm; framed 67.5 × 76.5 cm) exemplifies Dolf Breetvelt’s postwar abstract language, where gestural ink lines, gouache washes, and sharply defined geometric forms coexist with striking tension. Rendered in deep blues, blacks, and warm neutrals, the composition reflects Breetvelt’s sustained interest in the relationship between spontaneity and structure. The layering of transparent fields and graphic contours points to his mature style, shaped after his return to the Netherlands following extensive periods working abroad. Signed lower right with his characteristic pencilled “B,” the work is presented in its classic mid-century frame and remains in very good condition, with stable paper and strong colour retention.
