Rie Cramer - Vrouw Holle

Beautiful, meticulously detailed pen drawing by Rie Cramer, next to Anton Pieck, the most important illustrator in the Netherlands.
This is an original illustration for an old German fairy tale book. Below the drawing it says: 'Frau Holle'. The work is signed with her initials RC.
I estimate the work to be from the 1930s, but could also be older.

¶ Marie (Rie) Cramer (Java, Indonesia, October 10, 1887 – Laren, September 16, 1977) was an illustrator, book cover designer and writer.
She grew up in the Dutch East Indies. When Rie Cramer was nine, her mother went to the Netherlands with the children. She went to the art academy in The Hague at a very early age. She started writing children's stories and making drawings. As a seventeen-year-old, she was commissioned in 1906 for the book Of Girls and Boys.

She illustrated numerous fairy tale books. She has also illustrated books by Nienke van Hichtum and Anna Sutorius. Cramer provided texts and illustrations for 120 children's and fairy tale books and, as a permanent illustrator, helped define the face of the widely read children's magazine Zonneschijn. She also made drawings for the children's monthly magazine Ons Thuis by Henriëtte Dietz and Katharina Leopold. Her career was at its peak in the 1920s and 1930s.
