Albert Mulder (15 July 1889 – 7 November 1987) was a Dutch painter associated with impressionism and watercolor works.[1]

Born in Maastricht, Limburg, Mulder studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam, where he specialized in watercolors including (flower) still lifes, landscapes, nudes, and portraits.[2] He traveled frequently to France, Spain, and Curaçao, which influenced his artistic style. Mulder lived much of his later life in Naarden and Laren, and besides painting, he worked as a restorer of old paintings.

Mulder's work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[3]

His work was also included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, an important national exhibition showcasing contemporary Dutch art.[4]

Mulder contributed significantly to Dutch art in the 20th century, leaving a legacy as a respected watercolorist and painter of naturalistic subjects.
