Dutch ink drawing of Volendam dated 1908 signed by artist

Fine Art : Drawings : Europe : 20th Century : Dutch Art

 

Ink on paper laid on board, 6 1/4" by 4 1/4" (the drawing itself), signed at lower right J.C.F.M. and signed again on reverse of the card "J.C.F. Murray '08" and titled "Volendam". I don't see a listing for this name, if I'm reading it correctly, but the drawing is obviously by a trained hand. Note the details of the wooden shoes on both figures, the traditional bonnet on the lady. Volendam is a small town north of Amsterdam and is known for his embracing traditional dress and traditions. Condition is good with a light mark perhaps in sky and some light staining of the board, which could be easily matted out for framing. SEE HUNDREDS OF WORKS NOW IN MY SHOP.
