Uit de collective van mijn grootvader." [Some small drawings by Vincent van Gogh. From the collection of my grandfather.] The cover is signed S. James van den Bergh. The style of the cover's pencil inscription is consistent with its age. A photo of the sketchbook cover is part of this listing, for reference, but the cover is not included with the lot.

It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity/attribution by painting conservator/art historian Bruce Wood, MFA.
