Hello, this item is an original oil on canvas painting by Dutch artist Anthonie Johannes Zwart (1903–1981), known professionally as A.J. Zwart. The work is titled Interieur te Hulsel, N. Br. (Interior in Hulsel, North Brabant), as inscribed on the reverse, and depicts a rustic domestic scene that reflects the artist’s commitment to capturing the quiet intimacy of North Brabant village life. The composition, with its dim hearth, suspended copper kettle, and scattered household objects, evokes a nostalgic, almost ethnographic quality, consistent with Zwart’s oeuvre from the mid-20th century. The signature “A.J. Zwart” appears in the lower left corner, confirming authorship.

Zwart’s work has a steady demand within the Dutch and European regional art market, especially among collectors of genre scenes and traditional interiors. While not internationally blue-chip, his paintings are admired for their craftsmanship and cultural specificity. Given the piece’s good condition, visible signature, and the clarity of provenance, the current fair market value for this painting is estimated between $1,200 and $1,800 USD.
