- I am in Morocco! [...] I have decided to travel on a whim, since the whole trip was sponsored by Mr. Brouwer, who commissioned portraits that I painted during the summer in Bruges. He asked me to paint nudes of beautiful Moroccan women

я очутилась в Марокко! [...] Вообще же я рискнула этой поездкой, так как деньги на нее дал мне взаймы тот господин Броуэр, у которого я рисовала в Брюгге летом портреты. Он хотел, чтобы я здесь сделала «ню» с туземок прекрасных
