Weijns is considered a typically Rotterdam Impressionist. Weijns was taught by Jan Derk Huibers at the city drawing school in Zwolle and at the State Normal School for Drawing Teachers in Amsterdam (1881-1885), under Willem Molkenboer. He, himself, became first an art teacher in Enschede and Rotterdam. Weijns painted and drew landscapes (in Switzerland and Italy), portraits, interiors and still lifes. He was a member of Arti et Amicitiae, Sint Lucas, the Pulchri Studio and the Rotterdam Artists' Society. - About the artist
