" "What I've made there - about some years ago, you will never see that again! It's all over; with Scheveningen it's finished. And when I didn't still know everything about the past from those sketches, indeed it [his painting] was definitely over. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)

(original Dutch: citaat van Hendrik Willem Mesdag's brief, in het Nederlands:) Het was wel fataal nieuws: de plotselinge dood van onze jongen, een ziekte van drie dagen maakte een einde aan zijn leven. Wat is ons huis leeg.. .,die gedurende 8 jaren [leeftijd van hun zoon] de illusie van ons leven was. Gelukkig voor ons dat we van kunst houden en laten wij hopen dat wij {Mesdag èn Sientje, zijn vrouw] doorgaan ons leven te wijden aan ons schilderen, dat mij reeds zo veel genot heeft gegeven..
..Tadema wrote me that you both agreed that I must not exhibit these two paintings [which Mesdag painted in 1868-69]; [because] they were not yet complete enough for my reputation in Brussels. That's why I will not exhibit this year in Brussels, for I tell you sincerely that I cannot do better at the moment.. .I had very little pleasure from my exhibited paintings in The Hague; they were hanged badly, so people couldn't almost see them, but what can you do? Suffer and keep your mouth. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)
..the art-reviews on my work in the French and English magazines.. ..[are] enough to claim that I already have reached a prominent position among today's marine painters. I would also like to take this fact into consideration when determining my prices. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)
