Dutch painter Frans (François) Hogerwaard (1882-1921) was known for his (mundane) portraits and figures, and for his landscapes.
Like his brother the painter George Hogerwaard, Frans Hogerwaard was born on Java in the Dutch Indies.
He was educated at the School of Arts and Crafts in Haarlem and then at the Rijksacademie of Amsterdam (1904-1906), where he became close friends with Tjeerd Bottema and Wim de Haas.

In 1910 he won the Prix de Rome and stayed in Spain and Italy.
He was mostly known for his figures and landscapes in which the light plays an important role.
In The Hague, where he lived from 1910 on, he made his name with (mundane) portraits in which influences of the Art Nouveau can be recognised.
