<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 232933, member: 2844&quot;]Judging by the dress of the woman, it was painted near the southern shore of the former Zuiderzee in The Netherlands. The Zuiderzee became IJsselmeer in 1932, when a dyke closed the entrance to the North Sea.</p><p>The cap the woman is wearing, was still worn by elderly women in the 1940s. Below is a picture of winter dress from the village of Spakenburg, the cap in your watercolour is from Spakenburg or a village nearby.</p><p>As you&#039;ve noticed, it is not by the famous Pieter de Hooch. The name could have been chosen for fun, or it could be that the painter happened to have the same name.</p><p><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/de/7c/b9/de7cb99b7bf0132f8250e106c3ed1f9e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
