Jacob Simon Hendrik Kever DUTCH: 1854-
IN THE ORCHARDS
Height, 15½ inches; length, 19½ inches.
A Dutch maiden, seated in strong sunlight on a wooden bench in an open orchard, is engaged in sewing on a white garment, at the same time watching a fair-haired little girl who, seated in the grass at her feet, is arranging a bunch of violets which she has just gathered. Beyond the group, in the background, is suggested an orchard filled with small trees in late spring foliage.
Signed at the lower left, Kever.
