version in original Dutch (origineel citaat van Martinus Werkman, in het Nederlands): Zeker is in ieder geval dat Hendrik niet absoluut ongeschikt was als zakenman. Hij had als zoovelen twee persoonlijkheden in zich, die van de zakenman en die van de kunstenaar. — Quote of Werkman's youngest brother, Martinus Werkman, in his letter to Chris K. Werkman, Jan. 1946, taken from 'Archief 3, Gebroeders & Cie'; as cited by Anneke de Vries in H. N. Werkman - Leven & Werk - 1882-1945, ed. A. de Vries, J.
