In 1907, Van Velde apprenticed in the interior decorating company Schaijk & Kramers in The Hague. Arriving in Paris in 1924, his art was encourage by the French painter André Lhote as well as the playwright Samuel Beckett. Over the years that followed, the artist suffered through poverty and a lack of recognition. Though he was championed and supported financially by his friend Beckett, it was not until the late 1950s that he found admirers among a younger generation of artists, including Pierre Alechinsky. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Tate Gallery in London. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
