Woodcut, circa 1900-1910, edition unknown. 15 5/8 x 19 5/8 in. Signed in pencil, lower right. Inscribed in pencil, "voor S. Moulijn." This is a very fine impression on a white wove paper.

He was influenced by Japanese printmaking and this topic is discussed in Japanese Invloed op Nederlandandse kunst, Imitatie et Inspiratie van 1650 tot heden (1991) published by the Rijksmuseum (Ch. van Rappard-Boon, et al.); pages 133-134. The dedication is to fellow Dutch artist, Simon Moulijn (1866-1948), a well-known lithographer.
