“2 Tortelduiven” (Eurasian collared dove)
Cousin twice removed (they shared a common great grandfather) of Groningen “De Ploeg” artist group painter Ben (B.H.D.) Walrecht (1911-1980). From an unknown March 1936 magazine edition. Known as a schoolteacher in province Zealand he was also a keen amateur field biologist, photographer, drawer and printmaker (known by just this print).
Some examples by his cousin Ben, who had a wonderful impressionist style and pallet. The good ship Alida (from his de Ploeg friend George Martens (1894-1979) and named after his wife and also de Ploeg member artist Alida Pott (1888-1931)
Then: “Loosdrecht” in the style and colours of Claude Monet and a watercolour view on the village of Grouw unfar from where I live.

Dear print lover, passing-by visitor and reader:
While this new gallery-museum site is under construction (being build-up, stocked and arranged) priority must be given to first add all the represented artists in the index with works from the collection and if possible with the examples from the archives.
During construction the site is open to visitors, questions, feedback and suggestions.
