Willem Klijn Pencil Drawing of Man in Hat and Glasses, 1910, Brussels gift for salesman with the tiniest interior egg

with the tiniest interior egg very tiny indeed

What could be better for a camping trip

with the water all to themselves

and makes me want to send more handwritten letters in order that I might receive some back to open with it

Willem Klijn Pencil Drawing of Man in Hat and Glasses, 1910, Brussels gift for salesman with the tiniest interior eggThis hatted and bespectacled man reminds me rather of James Joyce a smart, serious, and quite sensitive young man. And I find this drawing, which appears to have been rendered on the back of a white paper receipt or wrapper, so romantic, conjuring visions of early 20th century European cafe life I can just see Dutch artist Willem Klijn sitting quietly in the corner by a window, dashing off this sketch while lively intellectual banter rises all around
