Hendrik Manfried Haus

According to his baptismal record from 1803, Hendrik was born with his twin sister Maria to Frans Joseph Haus and Barbara Fehr.

[2] There is a letter from 1840 by him in the archive of the Rijksmuseum in which he reports that he and his wife have been under medical treatment for some time, and he offers a painting in the hope that the recipient will buy it.

[3] The Dutch art dealer and writer Pieter A. Scheen wrote about him: He received his education in The Hague, where he appears in the population registers in 1823 and 1830, and moved to Utrecht around 1835.

He primarily worked in small formats using oil on panel, canvas, and copper with winter and summer landscapes in the style of Andreas Schelfhout.

The highest price bid for his work was for a piece measuring 32.5 × 43.5 cm titled 'Riders in a Village' at Dorotheum in Vienna, Austria (2005).
