Located on the side of building on the Utrechtsestraat 54, you can this beautiful mural done by art collective "De Strakke Hand" and it was donated / commissioned by the Arnhem Museum to the city of Arnhem for the museum's 100th anniversary back in March 2022. This is the second piece donated by the museum. Of the first you can find a link in the sources part of this post.

The Artwork: Carel Willink, Wilma met Kat (1940)

Pictured on the wall is the painting "Wilma met Kat" (Wilma with Cat) done by dutch painter Carel Willink (1900-1983). Willink has mastered several styles, but most of his paintings can be categorized under the neoclassicism and metaphysical (Like Salvador Dali) style.

The woman you see pictured here, is Wilma Jeuken (1905-1960), the woman he was married to until she passed away of a brain tumor, and their cat. The real painting can be found hanging in the Arnhem Museum.

The mural is done by streetart collective "De Strakke Hand". They have done several other pieces around Arnhem for the Museum.
