Sometimes, when something really goes well, I catch myself, at a glance upon getting up, saying something like: "well done, Henk." Here, then. Free piece, purely because I felt like it. Franka came to Prinsengracht to repair Furora's aging Traction Avant. Eventually she became the car dealer's bonus daughter and grew up in a garage. Citroën H full of tools borrowed from Ben and getting to work. Just a beautiful piece.

The winner of this lot will also receive, for this auction, a special color print in A4 format, made in an edition of 150 unnumbered, signed by Henk Kuijpers. The original of this print is also in this auction (see lot 150).

Henk." Hier dus. Vrije plaat, dus puur omdat ik er zin in had. Franka is naar de Prinsengracht gekomen om Furora's overjarige Traction Avant te repareren. Uiteindelijk is ze bonusdochter van een autohandelaar geworden monteur  en is ze dus opgegroeid in een garage. CItroen H vol gereedschap geleend van Ben en aan de slag. Gewoon een Prachtige plaat geworden.
