Anthony Andriessen

Anthony Andriessen was an artist active during the latter half of the 18th century, with documented production spanning the years 1756 through 1780. His body of known work consists predominantly of figure studies and landscape drawings.

The extant works suggest a focus on genre scenes and detailed observational sketches. Notable examples reflecting his range include the figure study Drie studies van een zittende vrouw, the dynamic scene Hurkende vrouw praat tegen een staand meisje, and the environmental depiction Landschap met figuren en een bruggetje bij een boerenwoning.

Eight drawings by Andriessen are represented in major institutional collections, establishing the artist’s legacy. The Rijksmuseum holds a collection of his studies, ensuring that museum-quality examples of his 18th-century graphic work are preserved. The availability of these historical studies means that high-quality reproductions of Anthony Andriessen prints are often found in the public domain.
