In the last years of Sees Vlag's life, operating the printing press became too difficult. That's why he turned to drawing. Cloudy skies in particular. With a small part of the city visible at the bottom, usually of The Hague. While the cloudy skies in the linocuts of Sees Vlag served as an illustration, it is the other way around in his drawings. Once you know these drawings and look at the sky, you will sometimes catch yourself thinking: 'Indeed, I know that sky from Sees Vlag!' Pulchri exhibited a large overview of these drawings in 2015.
