Hein Kever

Jacob Simon Hendrik Kever, known as Hein (19 June 1854 in Amsterdam – 29 April 1922 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch genre and still-life painter; associated with the Laren School.

He showed little ability for practical pursuits, but his mother was a good friend of Jozef Israëls and was able to obtain him positions in the workshops of some well-known lithographers, notably Petrus Franciscus Greive.

[2] In 1878, he took a course at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp with Charles Verlat.

He then settled in Blaricum, but kept a small apartment in Oosterpark, where he spent the winters.

In 1887, he was married and bought a house in Laren, near the "Villa Ariette" of Anton Mauve, who he greatly admired.
