Piet Zwiers (Dutch, 1907-1965), Wetland Landscape with Boat and Fishing or Eel Nets, 20th century oil on canvas, signed, 79cm x 99cm, within a painted wood frame. Note: Pieter Roelof Zwiers, known as 'the painter of Giethoorn', was a Dutch artist born in Meppel who spent almost his entire life in the province of Overijssel, living first in Steenwijk and later in Giethoorn. The village and its surrounding waterways and countryside provided the principal inspiration for his work, featuring its characteristic canals and high bridges, pollarded willows and traditional eel traps on the Belterwijde. In 2007, the Stedelijk Museum Zwolle held a retrospective exhibition of his work.
