Biography engraver: Frans Hogerwaard (1882–1921) was a Dutch painter and printmaker born in Weltevreden, Java. He studied in Haarlem and at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam, later travelling extensively through Europe and North Africa after winning the Prix de Rome in 1910. His work often reflects Art Nouveau influences and cosmopolitan, elegant subjects. Frans Hogerwaard became known for refined and atmospheric depictions of fashionable and exotic subjects inspired by his travels through Madrid, Rome, Venice and Algiers. He died prematurely in The Hague at the age of 38.
