translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek
version in original Dutch (citaat van Jozef Israëls' brief, in het Nederlands): .Ik wou echter als vriend van u nl:Johannes Bosboom een raad hebben dit namelijk of gij oordeelt dat ik mijne schilderij 'Ouden en Jongen' naar Brussel [tentoonstelling] zal zenden of niet. Ik dacht dat het een aardig schilderij was, maar nu las ik in het Handelsblad dat het zo slecht is. Wat is daarvan aan. Doe mij svp het genoegen mij hierop een woordje sans facon [zonder omwegen] te dienen, hoe gij het voor u zelf vindt.
Quote from his letter to J. Bosboom, from Bloemendaal, 27 June 1866 (HGA, input no. OV2, schildersbrieven (painter-letters)
