1. See for the twelve drawings by Van Gogh that Van Rappard had at this time: letter 441.
2. These were the watercolours he had sent, referred to in letter 429.
a. Means: ‘onlangs’ (recently).
3. Probably Weaver standing in front of his loom (F 33 / JH 489 [2470]). Later on, Van Gogh had this photographed; see letters 463 and 465.
[2470]
4. This painting of the pond at the bottom of the parsonage garden is not known.
5. Anthon van Rappard, Weaver (Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum). Ill. 335 [335]. See Van Gogh Museum Journal 1997-1998. Amsterdam 1998, pp. 119-120.
No ‘bust’ of a girl winding yarn is known; however the Woman spooling yarn, Nuenen (Utrecht, Centraal Museum), which is probably related, does date from this period. Ill. 327 [327]. See exhib. cat. Amsterdam 1974, p. 87, cat. no. 109.
[335] [327]
6. This is probably Cottage (F 93 / JH 805 [2518]). See Tellegen-Hoogendoorn 2001, pp. 161-162.
[2518]
7. With the plural ‘Drenthe huts’ Van Gogh may be referring to Cottages (F 17 / JH 395 [2446]), which could possibly have been part of a batch sent to Theo (see letter 406, n. 6).
[2446]
8. This painting of a fish market is not known (cf. letter 454).
9. This must be the drawing ‘Weefstoel met wever’ (Loom with weaver), which was still with Van Rappard (cf. 437, n. 1). If that was Weaver (F 1124 / JH 456), it means Van Gogh was still working on Weaver and a spinning wheel (F 29 / JH 471 [2462]).
