Piet Wiegman's cigar box painting

This landscape, (10 x 27 cm) was painted on the lid of a cigar box by Piet Wiegman.
It was probably made ​​in the twenties when Wiegman and his family stayed in Thorn, Limburg. There Wiegman became friends with the legendary doctor, painter and collector Henry Wiegersma, who was a major influence on anyone, and hence on Wiegman. The doctor encouraged him to work on larger sizes, and engage with the applied arts. This modest painting was for sale in the November auction of Venduehuis in The Hague.
