Portraits of Albert Verwey and Stefan George

The German writer Stefan George gave a lecture at the First International Exhibition in Boschoord Villa in The Hague on 24 May 1901. He stayed with the poet Albert Verwey in Noordwijk, where this double portrait originated. Toorop first made the portrait of George in drypoint and subsequently drew the likeness of Verwey in profile next to him.
