She is the mother of Dutch illustration, so I am not going to be so silly as to introduce her. On the website where I found this lovely picture (I think I have a much more comfortable chair) you can see some different versions she did of the same illustrations. Years apart, interesting to see how her style developed. You don't have to read Dutch, just look at the pictures. Wim Bijmoer is featured on the same page, which makes it even more interesting. Bijmoer illustrated "the sheep Veronica", bij Annie MG Schmidt. Which Fiep did later. And Wim did not appreciate the likeness her sheep bore with his. I wrote about this before.
I did work today, in case you're wondering. The weekly column about kid's stuff.
