Dutch Girl

Dutch Girl is an original oil painting by Dutch artist Rick Triest and is part of The Modern Masters Collection.

With Dutch Girl, Rick Triest presents a contemporary interpretation of classical Dutch portraiture. The characteristic pose, traditional head covering and subtle interplay of light and shadow pay tribute to the rich heritage of the Dutch Masters. Expressive brushwork and carefully layered oil paint create a portrait that feels both timeless and unmistakably modern.

This painting has been created exclusively with professional oil paints and traditional painting materials. Rick Triest works with carefully selected historical mediums and drying agents, including walnut oil and sun-thickened linseed oil, to achieve exceptional depth, luminosity and durability. The painting is built using premium pigments from Old Holland and De Kat, two renowned Dutch paint manufacturers celebrated for their rich pigmentation and outstanding quality. By combining these traditional materials with a contemporary painterly approach, the result is a modern portrait with timeless elegance and remarkable visual depth.

The Modern Masters Collection is an exclusive series of original portraits by Dutch artist Rick Triest. The collection is inspired by the painting traditions of the Dutch Masters, including Rembrandt.

Rather than copying historical paintings, Rick Triest translates traditional principles such as light, composition, layering and emotion into a contemporary visual language. His portraits are characterised by dramatic contrasts between light and shadow, expressive brushwork and richly textured surfaces.

Throughout the collection, Triest works with a variety of techniques and materials. Depending on the artwork, these may include traditional oil paint, premium pigments, gold leaf, metallic finishes and contemporary colour accents. This gives every painting its own distinctive identity while maintaining a recognisable and cohesive collection.

Every painting in The Modern Masters Collection is a unique, hand-painted original created in Rick Triest's studio. It is not a reproduction or print, but an individual work of art with its own character and story.
