About the artist

P.C. Wonder 1777–1852

Pieter Christoffel Wonder was born in Utrecht on 10 January 1777 and died in Amsterdam on 12 July 1852. Largely self-taught, he received early drawing lessons from Theodorus de Reuver and developed his technique through intensive study of Old Masters. In 1804–05 he travelled to Düsseldorf, where he copied works by Rubens and Van Dyck and studied at the Academy. He subsequently worked mainly in Utrecht, becoming a central figure in its artistic life and, with Jan Baptist Kobell, a founder of the drawing society Kunstliefde in 1807. Wonder is best known as a portraitist, but his oeuvre also includes genre, conversation pieces, interiors and history paintings. His early work deliberately engages with seventeenth-century Dutch painting: carefully observed figures, rich fabrics and controlled interior light recall artists such as Ter Borch, De Hooch and Vermeer. His characteristic strength lies in combining this historicising manner with close observation of contemporary people and surroundings.
