A farmer from Blaricum was the model for this painting. He was a familiar person in Blaricum and liked to pose as a model. This is now a long time ago. The painting has hung with a friend for a long time and is now back in my possession. Meanwhile Pummetje is no longer with us, he passed away in 2009. It's nice that I was able to portray him at the time.
