In good condition. Provenance: Collection Drs. Loek Brons, Amsterdam. Recognizes as one of the few representatives of Dutch surrealism, Langeweg, despite drawing inspiration from artists such as Giorgio de Chirico, adhered to a distinctive style and personal credo: 'Óne should draw from one's own source' ('Je moet uit je eigen glaasje drinken'). His body of work has left an indelible impact on Dutch art history and continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts. In the guilder era, De Verbeelding achieved a notable sale price of 8500 guilders.
