Janet_W.:
I'm so glad fellow posters are showing interest in this fascinating if strange woman! She was world-famous during her lifetime, and I'd certainly like to know more about her myself. Queen Marie has interesting things to say about her, but it would be intriguing to read the opinions and comments of others as well.

grandduchessella:
1889 quoted in a letter to Theo Sanit-Remy a passage from Van Gogh that a “childless woman is like a bell without a clapper—the sound of the bronze would perhaps be beautiful, but no one will ever hear it.”

Gives a bit of an insight to how she may have felt after the loss of her only child.  :(

Janet_W.:
Wow, that's just the kind of thing I'm interested in, grandduchessella. Thank you! Gives some insight into her feelings and tells us she wasn't just an eccentric figure . . . that she had some very poignant and profound thoughts. What a tragedy that her child died and her husband took little (if any) interest in her.
