"[ Johannes Bosboom was..] the friend of her first art-works, her source of information and on whom she could fall back, the one who helped her to believe in herself and finally the man who seized her with a firm grip from the drift paths of the young ladies' existence, onto the way of the royal art. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)"

version in original Dutch (citaat van Augusta de Wit, in Nederlands): [ ..], de vriend van haar eerste werk[en], haar vraagbaak en toeverlaat, degene die de moed bij haar erin hield en eindelijk de man die haar met vasten greep uit de drentel-paadjes van het jonge-dames-bestaan, den koninklijken weg der kunst introk. — Augusta de Wit in her article 'Marie Philippine Bilders-van Bosse', in Dutch art-magazine 'De Gids' 1900, p. 513
