Just for practice
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Antwerp, mid-January 1886
Then I have to go and see two fellows about portraits; I do not know what the result will be.
One is a question of two portraits of a couple of very beautiful hussies, types with dark eyes, dark hair, two sisters, who I suppose are kept women.
And the other one is a portrait of a married woman. But I repeat, there is nothing definite, and it may come to nothing.
But I know that eventually I would be willing to do them for nothing, just for practice.
