Found

The discoveries

Each of these came out of a box, a crate or a thrift-shop shelf and into the light through research. I tell you plainly how sure I am — and where the real answer belongs to a specialist, I say so.

Pen drawing in brown ink of a robed figure addressing a crowd, with the note "Jos. 24" in the top corner. To be auctioned — Venduehuis, The Hague
