Klein Duimpje 1894 - 1959

"Klein Duimpje" is a comic strip created by Gordinne, a Dutch artist, between 1894 and 1959. The artwork, a colorful illustration, is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and depicts a series of panels narrating a story, likely from a well-known fairy tale. This comic strip features a variety of characters, including a young boy who is the main character, and others dressed in traditional 19th-century clothing. The artwork uses a simple style, but effectively captures the action and excitement of the story. This piece is a prime example of early comic art, offering a glimpse into the history of this popular art form in the Netherlands.
