All your help and friendship
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 28-30 December 1882
Before the year is up, I feel I have to thank you again for all your help and friendship. . . .
I am sorry that I haven't succeeded in making a saleable drawing this year. I really do not know where the fault lies.
I wish you could come to the studio sometime. I think I wrote you in my last letter that I am at present drawing large heads because I felt the need of a more intimate study of the structure of the skull and the interpretation of the physiognomy. The work absorbs me greatly, and I found a few things lately for which I had been seeking for a long time. Well, whenever you come, you will see everything.
Letter 255
