Biography

Dutch painters Hendrika Schaap-van der Pek and Egbert Schaap were a couple. She died in 1926, but her works Jumping Horseman and Harbor for Yachts were submitted to the 1932 Art Competitions in Los Angeles. A reproduction of her Jumping Horseman can be found in the catalog of art competitions. Hendrika’s themes were flowers, farmhouses, biblical scenes, historical performances, landscapes, portraits, and still lifes, as a graphic artist and painter. She studied in Amsterdam and traveled to Italy, Germany, and France. Initially, she was influenced by the art movements of Pointillism and Luminism. She and her husband lived a life of great wealth in a villa near the artists’ village of Kortenhoef, as both were enriched by their art.
