Representing the themes of choice of Marie-José Van De Veegaete (1917-2005): mothers with child/children and portraits of women and children (same persons figured a few times), and also compositions (i.a. at a ball), a couple dancing, a horse rider and a soldier. Only one woman portrait is signed and dated 1940, most probably self-portrait of the artist. Van De Veegaete (1917-2005), drawer, painter and sculptor from Ghent, was the daughter of the painter Julien Van De Veegaete (1886-1960).
