[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 915623, member: 2844"]The other sticker could have been either for the price or a collection code. It would be interesting to know if any pieces in their personal collection had similar stickers. The provenance is certainly a good thing to have, although this beauty would have value anyway. She has the gentle grace seen in the work of Willem Hofker, a Dutch painter who painted in Indonesia. Hofker Balinese girls on their way to the temple: [IMG]https://indischekunst.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Ni-Tjawan.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DHsj_KpOnBE/WEK0ACFGntI/AAAAAAAADlQ/QxTkXG84vKkzcxjm7irLxORx2bcgT0zHACLcB/s640/106.JPG[/IMG] The girl on the right is Javanese, a rare subject in those days because Javanese people didn't want to be portrayed, which is why Hofker went on to paint in Bali.
