"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)"
