Bag c. 1940

Cornelius Christoffels, a Dutch artist born in 1879, created this watercolor painting of a needlepoint bag, titled "Bag", circa 1940. The bag features a colorful floral design and a blue drawstring, meticulously rendered in vibrant hues. The inscription at the bottom, "I.E.V.W.H.E.I.F. MY 1821," likely refers to the bag's creation date and its maker's initials. The work exemplifies Christoffels' keen eye for detail and his interest in capturing the beauty of everyday objects, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistry involved in needlepoint.
