Statue by Kees Verkade (1941) of Louis Couperus (1863-1923), Lange Voorhout, made in 1998.
Verkade is a prolific sculptor of the human figure.
Couperus is arguably the most important Dutch novelist of the Fin de Siècle and the period before WWI.
He was a sensitive stylist whose most important titles have been translated into English.
A real dandy, Couperus loved a stroll in Lange Voorhout, in his day the most distinguished street of the Netherlands.
