About this sheet
Cheerful Winter Outing: Volendam Men & Children in Holiday Dress (1932)
Original Lithograph from “The National Costumes of Holland” by Gardilanne & Moffatt
This vivid and heartwarming scene from Volendam captures a joyful winter day, with fishermen and children dressed in festive attire. At center, a small girl in blue and white wool and a checked apron is pulled along on a sledge by a boy in a black astrakhan ruige muts and Sunday best. The adult men—one in a red-striped polka baaitje work jacket, the other in a formal blempje jacket—display the rich layering and detailing of Volendammer dress. Each figure’s traditional black breeches (blaawes), hand-knit scarves, and wooden clogs speak to the durability and pride of their seafaring culture.
Excellent condition for its age. The colors remain bold and saturated. There is light age-toning to the edges, typical for prints of this period, and no tears or stains within the image field.
Framing Tips: This charming and detailed scene pairs well with a natural oak or painted black frame. Consider using a warm off-white or cream-colored mat to complement the tile background motif and retain the nostalgic tone. Museum glass will preserve its brilliant pigments.
