One learns much from them
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, c.25-29 January 1883
There is something very pleasant in the intercourse with the models, one learns much from them. This winter I have had some people whom I shall not easily forget. It is a charming saying of Edouard Frere's that he kept the same models so long that "those who used to pose for the babies, are now posing for the mothers."
