History
The donor, Peter B. Prenen (1890-1969), was born in the Netherlands. He moved to Holland, MI in 1954 with his wife Wilhelmina (1889-1975). They became US citizens on November 5, 1959.

To show his appreciation to his new country, he donated this painting on the one year anniversary of his citizenship.

Soon after their arrival to Holland, MI in 1954, Peter began working for Roamer Boat. They lived at 435 West 21st Street. Their daughter, Wilhelmina Prenen Ter Voort, lived at 270 W. 21st with husband Richard Ter Voort.
