I have the gift of drawing
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 14 May 1882
I shall be like a workman with a trade in which she is my assistant. My drawings are in your hands and for the first year at least my bread and hers will depend on you and on all those who are willing to help me, because you can see that I am doing my best and that I have the gift of drawing, and I believe of painting as well, which little by little will become more evident.
Letter 198
