I agree it has similarity with the painting you saw at the exhibition in Gorcum. When Corry painted this picture in 1939 she just finished her trainting at the academy.Frans Leidelmeijernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552130003939297537.post-63355468197469634162013-06-28T13:51:59.615+02:002013-06-28T13:51:59.615+02:00Thanks John!
