"Marie is already 4 weeks in Vorden [Summer of 1875], painting under the guidance of the first landscape painter we have here Bilders. I am curious about the fruits of her labor. I must say that she does the work with great zeal, at the cost of her [white] complexion! She will come back as a half Javanese, I think. I am happy for her that she is given a different guidance than she had now from Bosboom [in The Hague], because that became too much modern for me. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)"
