“..[both of us (Schelfhout ànd J.C. Schotel)] make each a painting that together will form one view, as it were [view of Scheveningen by Schotel / view of The Hague by Schelfhout].. ..[but] our paintings together will therefore not become one integrated thing, but only pendants.. .I have taken my drawing from the steps of the Pavilion [in Scheveningen], viewed over the dunes to [the city] The Hague. In the foreground, which is very bare and empty in reality, I have placed some trees. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)”
