Bilders had visited Israëls and thought his recent painting was 'somewhat gray'. he got up early to put the whole painting in the soap from top to bottom and after breakfast after the walk he was still picking up the work a bit; then the painting was good. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)"
