These several drawings and a number of others which I sold later were discovered in a small shop in an Amsterdam Flea Market several years ago. I had taken a biking-barge tour of central Holland and was spending a weekend in Amsterdam before departing for Paris the following week. They are beautifully executed studies of the male youth. (The slight discoloration on the drawings is just a shadow from the window light in which they were photographed.).

Here is an example of Bokhorst's mature work. According to what I have been able to research his works are somewhat rare and much sought after by a growing group of Deventer School painters in Holland.
