Original Description
Henriette Louise Houtman by Simon Maris (1873-1935) is an elegant Dutch portrait that captures the quiet sophistication of late 19th-century bourgeois society. Painted with Maris’ characteristic soft brushwork and muted palette, the work depicts the sitter in a contemplative pose, her delicate lace collar and refined features rendered with Hague School precision. The warm amber background and subtle play of light create an intimate atmosphere, typical of Maris’ sensitive portrayals of women—often family members or close acquaintances. As the youngest of the renowned Maris artist dynasty, Simon’s work bridged traditional Dutch portraiture and emerging Impressionist influences, making this piece historically significant as a transitional work within fin-de-siècle European art.
When displaying this portrait in interior spaces, consider pairing it with antique walnut furniture or streamlined Art Deco pieces to highlight its timeless quality. Ideal for a study or formal sitting room, its 80x60cm dimensions suit above mantelpieces or as part of a salon-style grouping with other Hague School works. The painting’s earthy ochres and cream tones harmonize beautifully with Farrow & Ball’s "French Gray" walls or deep emerald greens for contrast. Position it opposite arched windows to allow natural light to accentuate its textured brushstrokes, avoiding direct sunlight to preserve pigment integrity. In corporate settings, it lends gravitas to executive offices when flanked by leather-bound books and brass desk accessories, its subdued elegance counterbalancing modern minimalism.
