Sick Charley (Charley Toorop) - JAN TOOROP - drypoint with handcoloring

JAN TOOROP
Dutch, (1858-1928)

Drypoint with handcoloring, 1898, Verbeek / Rijksmuseum 37 (ii/II), edition unknown. 6 1/2 x 5 3/8 in. Signed in the plate, lower left. Signed and titled in ink below and also inscribed, "aan mijn vriend Lourijsen." This is a fine impression hand colored by the artist in white watercolor(?) on a cream wove paper. The margins are wide and possibly full. The condition is very good apart from slight light toning to the front of the sheet. Charley is the daughter of Jan Toorop and Annie Hall. She's depicted here at the age of seven. Toorop gifted this etching to his student and good friend Lambert Lourijsen (1885-1950). Lourijsen married HenriĆ«tte Straatemeier, the grandmother of the previous owner of of this etching, in 1914. Toorop was a witness at their wedding. This work is further discussed in Cliff Ackley's book, Holland on Paper in the Age of Art Nouveau (2014), (see pages 186-187). The Rijksmuseum also has a hand colored version of this rare and compelling print.      $8,000
