For sale is a beautiful antique lithographic print titled "De Splinter" (The Splinter) by the recognized Dutch artist Marie Heijermans (1859–1937).
This charming genre scene captures an intimate and tender domestic moment: a grandmother carefully removing a splinter from a young boy's finger in a rustic cottage interior. A small black cat sits nearby, adding to the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere.
The piece features the artist’s printed signature "Heijermans" in the lower-left corner and still retains its original Dutch title label on the back. It comes in its authentic, stunning period frame with a classic gilded finish and a decorative beaded inner border (bead-and-reel detailing).
The print has a factory-embossed texture simulating canvas linen, characteristic of high-quality early 20th-century decorative reproductions. A perfect addition for collectors of Dutch heritage items, rustic vintage decor, or classic interiors.
