“The boss [her husband] is hard working, busy with a very beautiful painting ‘from darkness into light', a woman sitting on a chair with her hand in front of the face, a little love is lying innocent in the cradle, a child of about six years is sitting on her lap with the head on mother's knee; the corpse of the father is carried out by a sad flock of people; one can see the sky and the spire [through the doorway], it is 'touching' (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)”
