Drawing, pen and brown ink, 21,2 x 13,6 cm, glossy paper of leaflet, signed in brown ink at right side of image.

Pasted on passe-partout.

Original drawing by the Dutch artist Nico Eekman (1889-1973), whose works are now in many Dutch museums and institutes such as Kröller-Müller. The drawing shows a man fishing, a variation on "Le pêcheur fantastique", a painting Eekman had made earlier. This late work dates from the time that the artist received wide public recognition for his oeuvre and was honoured with various exhibitions in the Netherlands, France and Belgium. The drawing contains a ms. dedication by the artist to "Mademoiselle Fally".
