Hi,

I have a pen and watercolour drawing of a Louis van Veen. It was done by my father during WW2. Could this be the same person? It has Mr van Veen's signature.

Regards,

Peter Jones

Peter Jones, it could well be.

Tagging Private User as a recently active family member.

Alex Moes, thank you for responding.

Unfortunately I've had no response at all from either Private User or Lucile van Veen to whom I've also sent a private message. Perhaps I am doing something wrong and not using the web site correctly. I'd have thought that a possible piece of personal information about a family member would be very welcome - the drawing actually looks like the photograph in the profile of Louis van Veen. If it is not the same person, a reply from the family would have been courteous.

I'm going to abandon this line of inquiry.

@louis van veen. I just read your message by chance. I'm Louis van Veen's eldest daughter and Marc Bodson's mother and I suppose the "private child" !
My name is Marijke van Veen but usually called Micky. Perhaps you could send me a photograph of the drawing and especially of the signature which is recognisable amongst thousands. Please use my email address: micky0@icloud.com.
Thanks a lot, and i will let you know if it is my father or not.
Sincerely
Micky

Peter Jones, looks like you got lucky!

Thank you Alex Moes. I had stopped monitoring this conversation. I'll reply to the e-mail given and see how lucky I may have been.

Alex Moes, it looks like a perfect match for Louis van Veen. Many thanks.

Do we get to see the portrait?
