The artwork and frame are in good condition. This drawing is depicted on page 43 of the book: 'In search of recognition', the biography about Herman Moerkerk written by Vincent Verstappen and Frans van Gaal. This book is delivered to the buyer together with the artwork.
Moerkerk attended grammar school in Sittard and later made a name for himself as a designer of posters. He was a student of the calligrapher Theodorus van Kempen (1896), of the painter Piet Slager Sr. and from 1899 he took lessons with the painter Jan Bogaerts. Moerkerk developed as an independent artist: around 1910 he was already quite famous as a draftsman, especially for his caricatures of Brabant folk types. He also provided reviews in the Brabant newspapers. Because he felt misunderstood as a painter, he exhibited about forty expressionist oil paintings in Tilburg in August 1927 under the pseudonym Alexei Wladkine, which differed from his other work. At this exhibition, Moerkerk mingled with the audience and made critical comments to them about the works he had created.
