Drawing made by Marten Toonder for Concordia. Famous image and perhaps the nicest drawing that Marten Toonder made for Concordia. Pencil, ink and grid. Beautiful composition and finely inked. After Marten Toonder stopped his day trip in 1986, he took care of drawings from Ireland for what was then Concordia insurance in the period 1986-1990, which were used by Concordia in brochures, booklets, calendars, on posters, etc. At that time that (the drawings for Concordia) was the only "Bommelwerk" that was made and therefore also what Marten Toonder did all by himself. Toonder's drawing is a famous one. The drawing has been widely used in brochures, booklets, etc. Work that was entirely made by Marten Toonder himself is rarely or never offered. On December 1, 2010, the cultural legacy of Marten Toonder (all the work that Marten Toonder made himself) was officially transferred by the heirs to the Literary Museum Leiden and has been the property of the Dutch state ever since. The chance that original work by Marten Toonder himself will be offered is therefore extremely small.
