Kijkduin is seaside resort on the southern fringe of The Hague - the Dutch city where I spent my earlier years. It's a pleasant landscape of dunes dotted with maritime icons that reflect Dutch seafaring history and in summer the paraphenalia of that season such as umbrellas, flags, deck chairs, and a favourite take away snack, patat frite, potato chips which are traditionally served in paper cones.

Hence the visual shorthand of the fries in a cone sculpture that immediately identifies the specialty of the van which in this print would be out of frame on the left. The clean Mondrian like palette of primary colours used in this print is typical of of the geometry of the post war Dutch built landscape and the spiny dunes grasses are typical of the natural coastal landscape.
