Museum Bredius : voorlopige catalogus van schilderijen en tekeningen.
A 1900 preliminary catalogue of paintings and drawings held by the Museum Bredius in The Hague, issued by the city's fine arts department for public and scholarly visitors. The four pictures are reproductions of Dutch Golden Age works: a pen-and-ink etching of figures bargaining at a seated table, a tavern scene of merry company with a map on the wall, a domestic interior of a family in a stone room with a window, and a half-length portrait of a bearded young man with long hair in warm brown tones. A designer could take from them the tight figure groupings, strong window-light falloff, and the contrast between sketchy line and rich glazed colour.
