A “Christ” by Toorop.
Jan Toorop drew a head of Christ in black chalk. He worked on it for three years and this work meant a lot to him. The isographic reproduction of it has now been marketed by Mr. Rudolf Bless, an art dealer in Nijmegen, who states in a prospectus: “For a long time and with many motives I had to insist with the artist before he decided to give me the right of ownership and reproduction of that work. Jan Toorop loved it and found it so hard to part with it. “It is the piece of my life” he said – “I worked on it for three years!” All reproductions were reproduced in true size according to the famous method “van Meurs” and represent the original so faithfully that they cannot be distinguished from the original by the most trained eye. As proof that this praise applies to every reproduction, each individual copy was again authenticated with the handwritten signature of Jan Toorop. The latter shows that the number of copies available for the Netherlands is limited” Toorop merely gave a face: a face framed by thick and long black hair hanging down on both sides against a dark background of a beautiful person, with regular features, a beard and large eyes full of soul.
