The note on the back, translated into english:
This drawing of a fisherwoman from Katwijk was made by the artist Jacob Maris in the year 1878/1879 as a preliminary study for a painting. The sitter in this drawing is my great-grandmother, Hendrika Hoek 1861 - 1937. In the years 1876 to ca. 1882, the painter stayed several times in my great-grandmother's lodgings in Katwijk and he portrayed the family a number of times. After the death of my great-grandmother, the painting was given on permanent loan to the Museum Mesdag in The Hague.
