From a young age, Fiep Westendorp (1916–2004) discovered her passion for illustration. She developed a unique style that continued to enchant both children and adults. From the 1950s onwards, she gave shape to iconic characters such as Jip en Janneke, Pim & Pom and many others, often alongside stories by Annie M.G. Schmidt. Her graphic strength lay in clear lines, minimal detail and a distinctive expressiveness that resonates across generation after generation.
The exhibition features original sketches, notes and works that showcase Westendorp's artistic freedom and playfulness.
