"I have an idea - that still-life with the two bouquets I still have here.. .It will fit in your home perfectly - and I would really like to see it hanging there myself.. .You don't have to pay it at once if that doesn't suit you now. Then pay me in 2 times 100 for example,. in the beginning of next year?. .You will be happy with it - Ã nd - the painting is in the right place.. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)"
