Product information
Unsigned pre-sketch produced by JH Pierneef for the 1938, 100 year commemoration of the "Groot Trek".
The pre-sketch contains more detail in certain areas than that appearing on the Huisgenoot cover page, displaying a more in-depth view of the original concept. Pierneef, furthermore, is not known for depicting people in most of his art, adding to the uniqueness of this art piece.
From this pre-sketch a plate was made which was used to produce the cover page of the December 1938 Huisgenoot Gedenkuitgawe of the "Groot Trek".
For sale is the pre-sketch as well as a copy of the Huisgenoot in question.
The artwork is framed with a glass covering for protection.
Size including frame: 87 cm x 97 cm (Height x Width)
Size excluding frame:65 cm x 75 cm (Height x Width)
Huisgenoot cover page is loose with torn corners, but inside pages are of a significantly better quality.
Below is a photo of the credits of images used in the Huisgenoot itself.
This Huisgenoot outer cover image reference can also be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobus_Hendrik_Pierneef and is also covered in the book by Nel, P.G. (ed.). 1990. Pierneef: his life and his work. Cape Town: Perskor.
