The painter Willem Dooijewaard was an enthusiastic traveler. At an early age he traveled through Indonesia, Japan, Mongolia and Tibet. In a broad, smooth brushstroke he captured the life and color of these exotic countries. Traveling remained a permanent element in his life later on. Figures occupy an important place in his oeuvre, while he occasionally painted landscapes, cityscapes and a few flower still lifes. After 1932 he settled in Laren. In 1938 he lived for some time in Nice, where he painted numerous scenes with ballerinas in the rehearsal rooms of the ballet school.
