GREEVEN, Hendrik
Souvenirs de la Hollande.
Finely coloured series of folk costumes from the Netherlands (then forming the northern part of a united kingdom with what is now Belgium and Luxemburg), with a preface and explanatory text in French and English. It shows mostly women and couples, but sometimes also children and in one case two men. Heavily inspired by Evert Maaskamp's publications of folk costume prints, the firm of Frans Buffa aimed to compete in this popular genre. Greeven's drawings excel in the quality of their composition and drawing and the placement of the figures against scenic backgrounds.
