Christoffel Hendrik (Henk) Dijkman studied at the Academy of The Hague (1915) where he was taught by Willem Zwart, among others.
In The Hague Dijkman painted a large number of cityscapes and he made many beautiful landscape scenes of the surroundings of The Hague. His paintings from the period 1910-1925 in particular ended up in museums. In 1925 Chris Dijkman leaves for the Meuse Valley. He will call himself 'Henk' and from that moment on will sign his paintings with Henk Dijkman, H. Dijkman and Dijkman without initials. Henk is very productive at that time and is helped in the sale of his work by Bert Gorissen in Vucht in Belgium. Until his death on December 11, 1954 Dijkman worked in Maastricht and the surrounding area and during that period he also captured many historically interesting places, of which this is an example.
