“I'm not making any progress with the book that you were so kind to lend me [about techniques of etching]; the desire to study tie facts for etching from a book does not exist with me.. ..if you would rather give me some lessons, so that I can get some information, I will be glad..[which happened February / March 1891] (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)”

“Dear Richard, I just received your letter; I will send the money order f 10 [10 guilders] immediately for the swimming of Saar [their daughter, 10 years old]. She seems to be going well ahead, I think, at least if she can jump off the springboard by herself. Her letter was nice and cheerful. Yes I would have liked her to come here [in Heeze] but I am just afraid that I may not be able to work regularly or that she will get rather bored. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)”

“Dear Richard, I was just coming home from [painting] an interior [with people!]. It was terribly dark today and yesterday, but today I made a pretty good study. I still sleep badly and feel nervous because of that.. .I don't need to come to The Hague for my drawing lessons.. .How long we will stay here [in ], I don't know. I will write you at least in advance. If I don't start sleeping better I will not stay much longer, I think. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)”

“.In the beginning I was struggling very much with [painting] children, for that painting by Br. [probably, Henk Bremmer?]. It has an almost square format. The woman must look to the right [and] there must be a child with her.. .But I painted only a few children with mothers, and recent times not at all; and then that size (square), I don't know how to handle it. I now think to come back to The Hague Sunday afternoon [and] to leave Heeze early. Monday here is another holy Day [catholic region]. So I can not work then..

“It is not so bad that my paintings have been placed in the so-called reading room [Amsterdam exhibition, probably Arti et Amicitiae at the Rokin?]. But it will be just as you write, they will definitely have to serve for FW Jansen and others. They certainly must get the medals and have to show in a most favorable way. .. Are there many beautiful things exhibited or is everything rather mediocre? Is there something to see of Breitner and Bauer. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)”

“No, absolutely not, I have never been what one calls a gifted child, never a dreamer. I didn't think of making fantasies with the pencil on the paper, although at school we learned to draw and play music of course. But in those days the piano was actually what I preferred most.. .But until my eighteenth year I have been hesitating long between both [painting and playing piano]..”

“I never had difficulties with my students, for I was prepared for their pranks, because fortunately I had often been naughty myself. We frequently made tremendous fun at the Art Academy in The Hague.. .So I still had my own experience in this area fresh in my mind.”

“Although teaching in the class is so terribly tiring.. .I continued my work perfunctorily in a way that nobody could notice it. Because I lived with that firm intention: in a few years I will start painting. And I saved for this by being as sober as possible with everything.”

“Yes, there was a lot of fuss about it, then [c. 1879-80].. .. [that] I also was permitted to enter the nude class [c. at the Art Academy in Rotterdam, evening classes!] .. that was never done before me by other ladies. I was the first who claimed it. And even in a local newspaper they cried shame about it: a young woman who painted nude model. And moreover.. a teacher with so many girls under her guidance. [at the Dutch Highschool]”

“..I therefore got around to painting [in Amsterdam, 1883] and that's why teaching started to become a burden for me. So then it HAD to happen now: Make or break! And I asked my dismissal at the school, threw away my 2500 florin a year, sacrificed everything, although I never made any painting yet, and certainly sold nothing at all. And my acquaintances, my family, they found me reckless and shamefully frivolous with my sacrifice to art, for which they did not felt any sympathy or understand anything of it after all.”

“Well, sure, when you have some success, you also work with more self-confidence and ease. But before that time; that awkward question: am I going to sell or not. All the same I never took notice of it regarding to my work.”

“In Fall, October, November, I'm usually at work in Heeze, for interior studies. That is a beautiful, and the most quite time; the leaf of the trees [dropped!], what gives in summer such a strong green light into the domestic interiors. It was in the lodging of the good Saskia [Ciska] .. ..that I always got very special care.”

“What a struggle I had to make on that ['Mother and Child']. You would say, a nice assignment to make something good out of it, isn't it. I myself thought it that way.

“I was in Amsterdam [train from The Hague] last Wednesday, exclusively for the paintings [at the exhibition in 'Arti', May 1888] .. ..I was delighted with the wonderful [painting of] Jaap Maris. I mean the big one, I never saw it before. Also the other paintings did much better [because of better light there]. So your 'White horse' ['White horse of Montmartre', painted by Breitner in Paris in 1884]. I even got the impression that the Dupré that hung next to it became feeble. 'De Brug' [Breitner's painting, also known as 'Rain and Wind'] is a good job, but that painting never attracted me. I do not know why.. ..but I believe you will not be much attached to my opinion about this or that painting. I know how a peanut I am with no right to do so. I stayed at the exhibition until four o'clock, then I returned to The Hague.. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)”
