Dutch Han Krug attended training at the Academy of Art in The Hague. Later he traveled to the then Dutch East Indies and South Africa. He worked as a lithographer in various print media, and was an illustrator and decorator, before turning to painting. In the 1920s he contributed paintings to Ons Eigen Tijdschrift, the magazine of the Van Houten chocolate factories. He was also a co-founding member of the Association of Watercolor Artists in The Hague in 1955. Krug painted landscapes, beach and seascapes, and nature flowers in the impressionistic style.
