Note du spécialiste

Simon Vlas was a close friend of Jopie Huisman. In the 1930's he received a substantial heritance, which he spend with his friends mostly on alcohol. When the money was finished Simon ended up a notorious alcoholic in Workum. Jopie Huisman tried to look after Simon and therefore visited his friend regularly. During one of these visits , when Simon was sleeping off his debauch, Jopie sketched his shoes. In 1958 he painted the present lot based on these sketches.
