Dirk Baksteen (29 March 1886 in Rotterdam – 24 September 1971 in Antwerp) was a Belgian painter and etcher.
[citation needed] Baksteen ended up in Antwerp in 1912 on the advice of this brother.
His brother moved back to Antwerp, but Baksteen stayed with Smits to learn from him as a painter.
[citation needed] Baksteen's work has been exhibited at the Jacob Smits Museum.
