[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 7408659, member: 2844"]A kepie is a military cap, the type France's general de Gaulle used to wear, if you remember him.;) The women in the painting are wearing a 'hul', more specifically a Scheveningen 'hul', as well as the typical black and red cape that is worn by the fishermen's wives of Scheveningen and Katwijk. Scheveningen and Katwijk are fishing villages near The Hague. So this scene is situated on the beach of Scheveningen. The flatfish are most likely plaice. Clogs were/are worn in many parts of Europe, both coastal and inland. The model some of the women are wearing is a Holland type, so from part of the west of the Netherlands. The orangey part in the west is Holland, which means most of the Netherlands is not Holland (and we prefer it that way:bag:): [ATTACH=full]422577[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
