Purple Spring. 'Seated Lad' by Frederik Engel Jeltsema, and Ubbo Emmiussingel 79, Groningen, The Netherlands
Here again is the 'Seated Lad' (1916) by Frederik Engel Jeltsema (1879-1971) whom I've mentioned earlier in these pages

Today the building houses the offices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Groningen-Leeuwarden. It was designed by father and son, Kornelis (1844-1911) and Gerhardus (1875-1935) Hoekzema, both of Groningen, and built 1901-1902. Before it was turned into an office building, it was a family residence for Dirk Rudolph de Marees van Swinderen (1862-1943), local lawyer, banker and Chief Judge (President) of the District Court.
