"..Also Lady van Heemskerck van Beest has found in Cubism the direction in which she can now express herself preferably. The shape [of cubism] is already so familiar to her that she uses it without much difficulty and with her diligence and good will she moreover knows how to handle the right color soon. (translation from Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)"
