Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst

Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst was an artist active during a concise period in the late 19th century, with verifiable work dating from 1886 to 1892. While detailed biographical records are limited, his institutional presence is established through significant holdings in major collections. The Rijksmuseum preserves a representative sample of his output, documenting seven paintings and eight prints, illustrating a focus on landscape and genre subjects.

The preserved works include pastoral scenes and studies of rural life, confirming his engagement with contemporary Dutch realism. Notable Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst paintings held in collections include the compositions Bomen bij een boerderij, Boomgaard te Eemnes, and the landscape Landschap met twee bruggen over een sloot. Further examples of his painting output include Resting Cow with a Mill and the genre scene Big die eet uit een trog.

The fifteen documented works, comprising both paintings and prints, offer a focused look at his short but productive career window. Today, works reflecting this era, often preserved as high-quality prints and available as downloadable artwork, contribute to the accessible historical record through public domain collections.
