[3] That Vincent also often felt depressed about his work may be gathered from the following pa.s.sage, taken from a letter to his brother, not included in this volume: ”C?'est une perspective a.s.sez triste de devoir se dire que jamais la peinture que je fais n?'aura une valeur quelconque.?”

[9] I could not discover who the owner was; but the present number of the exhibit is 984F and the picture is marked ”_In Bruikleen_?” = lent.

[10] I have reasons to believe that this wonderful picture was sold by the Sonderbund people at the very time of my visit to Cologne for the sum of 450. But I was unable to discover the name of the new owner.

[11] See particularly his picture No. 1105 at the Ryksmuseum, Amsterdam.

[12] I wonder if it is to this work that Gauguin refers when, speaking of the progress Van Gogh was making under his tuition, he asks Morice: ”Avez-vous vu la gure et les cheveux, jaune de chrome??”
