FV029 A beautiful drawing! An intriguing image of Franka and her alter ego Elsa Anders together in a race monster Heinkel. From De Blauwe Venus, set in Amsterdam at a time when all things were not yet brand new antiques, with Onder de Bogen as a gritty abandoned setting.
Elsa, Franka’s wild side, wants to hit the road right away, but Franka, as her smart side, advocates a thoughtful approach.
The funny identity crisis of the slow little egg with the oversized racing tires underlines the split identity.
Made as an inner vignette (a type of chapter cover page) of the deluxe versions of De Blauwe Venus
Original art: ink on drawing board, 30x24 cm, signed.
