Oil on canvas portrait framed. Signed and attr. Henry Balink (American, 1882-1963) on lower right corner. 20 x 16 inch (52 x 41 cm). Henry Balink was born in Amsterdam, Holland. His parents were outwardly opposed to his becoming an artist, and as a result Balink funded his own education at the Art Institute of Rotterdam through bicycle racing and ice-skating. In 1909, Balink entered the Royal Academy in Amsterdam on the Queen Wilhelmina Merit Scholarship. He graduated in 1914 and immediately began working as a professional artist in Holland.
