Julie de Graag (1877–1924) was a Dutch artist and printmaker known for her refined woodcuts and illustrations that bridged Art Nouveau and early modernist styles. Born in Gorinchem, Netherlands, to Johannes de Graag, an accountant, and Karoline Couwenberg, she moved with her family to The Hague as a child. There, she studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1890s, training under J.J. Aarts and art critic H.P. Bremmer, who encouraged her to focus on woodblock printing. De Graag’s career flourished after she settled in Laren in 1904, where she developed a distinctive, stylized approach influenced by sculptor Joseph Mendes da Costa and painter Bart van der Leck. Her work, featuring bold lines and vibrant depictions of nature—flowers, animals, and village scenes—gained recognition until a devastating fire in 1908 destroyed much of her early output. She later taught drawing in Utrecht while battling fragile health.
