Pierre Tetar van Elven

[1] Pierre was the son of the painter John Baptist Tetar Elven (1805–1839) and Sophia Francisca Noll (or Noel?).

Pierre began his training in Amsterdam, but moved to The Hague, where he studied at the Royal Academy of Arts.

Between 1856 and 1863 he was in Turin, where, on 13 May 1856, he married Anna Maria Angela Felicita Fumao (or Annette Fumero) (1831-?).

In 1866, he left for Tunisia and Turkey, possibly traveling with Tinco Lycklama à Nijeholt, whom he portrayed a few times in oriental attire.

The Musée de la Castre in Cannes holds a few works as well, such as the Bal Travesti chez le baron Lycklama Media related to Pierre Tetar van Elven at Wikimedia Commons
