About the Item

South Beveland Roman Catholic Dress with Girl and Grandfather, Plate XLII (1932) This vibrant lithograph from *The National Costumes of Holland* (1932) presents a rare and richly detailed view of the distinctive Roman Catholic costume worn in South Beveland, Zeeland. Depicted here are three generations of a family—grandfather, mother, and daughter—all clothed in the Sunday dress typical of the Roman Catholic villages in the southern part of the island. This community is described as prosperous and tradition-preserving, and their attire is a testament to both their faith and affluence. The woman stands at the center of the composition, knitting calmly with her hair drawn tightly under a white cotton under-cap and covered with a blue silk one. The elaborate outer lace cap, worn over a gold-beugelled headband, is striking in its breadth and complexity. Between the caps sit two large gold *stukken*, fastened with four pins—two plain and two filigree—marking her as part of a community that values ornate and historical headwear. Her low-cut bodice of black cashmere features tightly fitted short sleeves with black velvet bands, while the prominent *beuk*—a square cloth covering the chest and shoulders—is crafted of green silk embroidered with crimson flowers, trimmed with lace, and decorated with red beads and gold edging. The accompanying *doek* is similarly rich in color and folds, secured behind the head with an abundance of pins. Her black woolen skirt is voluminous and dense, paired with a wide, luxurious apron of soft black cashmere. The young girl mirrors her mother in every way: she wears a similar black cashmere bodice, a *beuk* in white cotton, and a red-and-white checked *doek*. Her blue-and-white striped apron and shorter skirt give her a youthful charm. Notably, her own cap replicates the adult style, complete with delicate lace and early adornments, though simplified to just three coral bead rows. Seated to the right is the grandfather—a rare portrayal of men in these plates. He wears a formal black broadcloth suit with a high white collar fastened by gold buttons, a double-breasted waistcoat, and a red silk tie patterned in shadowy white. His peaked cap, less commonly seen in this region, features a shiny black peak and scrollwork design. Even in repose, he maintains the community's commitment to traditional dress, with wooden clogs completing his ensemble. This illustration captures not only the intricacy of the costume but also the familial bond and cultural continuity that such dress represents. It is a poignant reminder of how fashion can reflect faith, heritage, and social identity across generations. --- Condition Note: The print is in very good condition with vibrant original coloring and strong impressions. Slight toning near the edges consistent with age. No tears or creases. Plate XLII marked in upper margin. --- Framing Suggestion: This plate would look beautiful in a classic black or walnut-stained wooden frame with a soft white or pale cream mat to echo the lace caps. For a more traditional finish, consider using gold fillet edging to complement the rich gold headwear and jewelry featured in the image.

Early 20th Century Unknown Paintings

Beautiful romantic engraving of a brother and sister from the early 20th century
Located in Argenteuil, IDF
Beautiful etching on wove paper with a watermark, BFK Rives, signed, titled, and published by the Société Française des Amis des Arts around 1920. Title "Frère et soeur" (brother and sister) engraved by Adolphe Grauk (1865-1945), after the painting by Aimé Nicolas Morot (1850-1913) The engraving is in very good condition with some fading to the right edge of the sheet which will not be visible when the engraving is framed Dimensions: "Frère et soeur" etching: Sheet: 460 x 332 mm - Engraving: 250 x 250 mm - Engraving plate: 320 x 280 mm Engraved signature: A. Grauk below the engraving on the right & Blank signature of the Société Française des Amis des Arts under the engraving lower right. Adolphe Crauk, born in Valenciennes on May 24, 1865 and died on December 13, 1945, was a French engraver and painter. A pupil of David Joseph Desvachez in Valenciennes and then in Paris of Alexandre Cabanel, Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont, and Jules Jacquet, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1887 onward, receiving an honorable mention in 1893, a 3rd-class medal in 1896, a travel grant in 1897, and a 1st-class medal in 1905, the year he was selected as an hors-competition. He also received an honorable mention at the 1900 World's Fair. Aimé Nicolas Morot, born on June 16, 1850 in Nancy and died on August 12, 1913 in Dinard, was a French painter and sculptor. He studied at the Nancy School of Drawing and Painting under Claude-Émile Thiéry and Charles Sellier before becoming, through a competitive examination, a student of the painter Alexandre Cabanel at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris on May 31, 1869. He competed four times, unsuccessfully, for the Prix de Rome, before winning in 1873 with The Captivity of the Jews in Babylon. Upon marrying Suzanne Gérôme, he became the son-in-law of the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme; he was a friend of the painter and sculptor Édouard Paul Mérite. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1880 to 1912, where he received a medal of honor for his first participation for The Good Samaritan. As an academic and professor at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, a frequent exhibitor at the Salon des artistes français in Paris, and a member of the painting jury, Aimé Morot was an influential figure in Parisian art circles, one of the 18 most influential members of the Institut de France. The Société Française des Amis des Arts was founded in 1885 at the Palais de l'Industrie for the development of the arts, supported by numerous distinguished subscribers: Messrs. Gaston Doumergue (President of the French Republic), Baron Edmond de Rothschild, Count Greffulhe, the brothers Alfred, Jules, and Léon Bernheim, Louis Boucheron, Edgar Brandt, Emile Buland, Paul Chabas, Viscount Guy de Dampierre, Colonel Francis E. Drake, André Fallières, Louis Lévy, Paul Louchet, Maurice Moisset, Louis Montagné...
