I have been given a small painting by J.C.Verhoeven
Originally it was given to a Canadian soldier in 1945
It is about 10 x 10 cm, on a wood (plywood) panel

On the back it says:

NAARDEN (Bussum)
Karnemelk sloot
Painted by J.C. Verhoeven
21-8-45

Any information about the painter, and possibly the painting?

Jan van Stralen
Canada
