“[to mr. L. de Haes] Well, go upstairs, you know the way; are you going to take a look? At the moment you will not find many special things, but you find always something; and then we have another chat, anyway. Go ahead, I'll follow you; beware of entering because there is a large painting just in front of the door.”

Paul Gabriël (1828–1903) painter (1828-1903)

translation from the Dutch original: Fons Heijnsbroek
version in original Dutch / citaat van Paul Gabriël, in Nederlands: [tegen L. de Haes] Ga maar naar boven, je weet den weg; kom je eens een kijkje nemen? Er is toevallig op 't oogenblik niet veel bizonders, maar je vindt toch altijd wat; en dan maken we nog een praatje nietwaar; ga je gang, ik volg je wel; pas op met het binnengaan want er staat een groot schilderij voor de deur.
