Etching and aquatint printed in colors, done before 1923, Vervoorn 97, edition unknon but perhaps 50. 18 x 16 1/4 in. Signed in pencil, lower right. Inscribed, épreuve d'artiste," lower left.

He was producing these plates at a time when color prints were the exception in Holland and his color etchings were certainly among the best work done at the time. His earliest works were mezzotints after old masters. His mature work consists primarily of views of Amsterdam, flower studies, birds and other animals. His last important exhibition was at the Museum Kempenland in Eindhoven in 1988. Everbag's prints are consistently good and they are especially sought after by collectors in his native Holland.
