Toorop draws in the Zeeland dunes

In Zeeuws Veilinghuis, auctioneers in Middelburg, Netherlands, several drawings of Jan Toorop were on sale.
They sometimes fetch large to very large amounts, but it is an art in itself to know which ones are valuable and which are not. Much depends on date. Toorop just glued different pieces of paper together when a drawing did not fit, as can be seen from this company in the dunes. It was made in Zoutelande in 1903. One has to be accustomed with Toorop's oeuvre to appreciate these kinds of unpretentious works.
