About this sheet
Volendam Women and Child in Traditional Work and Everyday Dress, c.1900
A charming original 1932 lithograph from The National Costumes of Holland depicting a working woman, an elderly knitter, and a young girl in the traditional dress of Volendam. The woman wears the simple workaday costume of the late 19th century, with a bodice of blue cotton patterned in white, a boldly striped wincey skirt, and a heavy striped apron. The little girl dons a brown-patterned frock, a blue and white pinafore, and a multicolored wool scarf. At right, the older woman knits in a black fisherman’s cap and traditional floral chintz, echoing 19th-century styles. These details reflect the rich visual culture of Volendam, famous among artists and ethnographers.
Excellent condition with vivid, unfaded colors and crisp detail. Minor edge toning consistent with age, but no tears, stains, or foxing. Paper remains strong and stable.
Framing Tips: This piece presents beautifully in a simple natural wood or black frame with a wide, off-white mat to highlight the warm tones and intricate costume detail. For a more period look, consider a gold or ebonized Dutch-style frame.
