The Story of a Painting by August W. van Voorden - by Marius Kolff, chairman

From my parents I inherited (2010) a painting that has been in the Kolff Family from its creation.
I think it was commissioned by the company Goudzwaard & Kolff, of which my grandfather was the owner. The Helvetia ships on the painting are part of that company. It was painted by August W. van Voorden. The painting depicts some of the 'Helvetia' ships at the quay of Willemsplein.
