Condition: Good - SIGNED by Jan Cremer. With accessories.

Black woolen double­breasted overcoat with brass buttons with anchor motif. It can be assumed that these buttons were custom-made by or on behalf of the previous owner, the Dutch writer / artist Jan Cremer (1940-2024), who wrote his name on the inside of one of the two jacket pockets.

An Art Unlimited postcard is also supplied depicting the 'cupcakes portrait photo' that was taken by photographer Wim van der Linden (1941-2001), on which the author of Ik jan Cremer (1964) poses with this coat on and with two breast-shaped cream cakes in front of him.
