Description from the seller
General information;
Original drawings from Marten Toonder Studios have always been very rare, and that will never change. On December 1, 2010, the cultural heritage of Marten Toonder (all the work that Marten Toonder himself created) was officially transferred by the heirs to the Letterkundig Museum Leiden and has since been owned by the Dutch State. In November 2018, the archive of the Marten Toonder Studios was donated to the Literature Museum in The Hague and the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. See the last photo. The chance of original drawings coming onto the market is therefore very unlikely.
Marten Toonder Studio's star Frits Godhelp (1927-2009) was connected to Marten Toonder's company for nearly 50 years starting from January 11, 1943. He contributed to various comics, such as Tom Poes, Panda, Koning Hollewijn, Kappie, and Olle Kapoen. For Tom Poes Weekly, he created some of his own strips, such as 'Bas en van der Pluim.' Godhelp was one of the few artists on permanent staff at the studios. Until the early 1990s, he worked at Toonder Studios alongside colleagues like Hans Kresse, Piet Wijn, Ben van 't Klooster, Ben van Voorn, Jaap Lamberton, Wim Lensen, and Richard Klokkers. However, he collaborated most intensively with Marten Toonder.
This lot contains a beautiful, original painting depicting a charming, atmospheric scene where Tom Poes and Heer Bommel, as Santa Claus and helper Santa, enjoy winter fun in the snow with a gentle winter sun. This watercolor captures everything one would want to see in such a drawing. This stunning, large painting was created in the 1980s but was never used as a Christmas card. Original works featuring Tom Poes and Heer Bommel of this caliber are very rare and seldom offered. This is a very fine, museum-quality top piece. Perfect for connoisseurs and top collectors seeking exceptional items.
