Constant Artz painted the Dutch landscape punctuated by willows and windmills, but is best known for scenes picturing ducks in their water habitat. He made countless variations on this theme, all marked by a keen observation of nature. Artz was also a particularly accomplished watercolourist. He was the son of the Hague School painter D.A.C. Artz.
