And there we have my good rabbi.. ..he came up so tired in the studio, and then I put him down here. There was such a real seat in that guy, so with his pants slumped. That's nice, isn't it, that long black cloak with those wide folds and that slackly beer mat. He is holding the Torah role in his arm, do you see?. ..I known that old rab for a lot of years already, and with Purim and Rosh HaShanah [Jewish New Year] he comes faithfully around for his douceur [tip].

Additional quotes by Jozef Israëls

version in Dutch (citaat van Jozef Israëls, in het Nederlands): ..de eigenaar [van het schilderij 'Als men oud wordt', 1883].. ..moest er veel over hooren, men noemde het de apotheose van een schoudermantel, de figuur veel te groot voor het kader, enz. enz. [doorgestreept door Israëls:] zoodat men hem aanried het liever tegen wat anders bij mij te ruilen.

In this Summer time of ours with Scheveningen on the shore the bathing time and the hot weather I did very few things.. ..was only busy calculating my studies [for later paintings] and to see what I should do.. ..an interior with some figures an outside Schevening shore scene a scene with sentiment of feeling or a picture quite after nature so natural as if it was the old dutch school [17th century].. ..I hope the next days will bring me a safe outcome from the turbulations in my head, all is so fine and beautiful to do.. [original text by Israëls]
