• Generally accepted as a copy of a photo of Vincent's sister Willemina van Gogh (also "Wil" or "Willemien"), but note that the oval frame in images of this photo commonly seen is an artefact of the image: there is an original rectangular print extant. Willemina left Etten in July to take up a position as governess in Amsterdam so it is quite likely that any portrait of her was worked from a photo. In a July letter [VGM 169] Vincent mentions he had made a couple of portraits after photos. The identification is not, however, undisputed. De la Faille notes that E.P. Engel identified it as a portrait of Ariette [Jet] Mauve-Carbentus, a cousin of Vincent's married to the painter Anton Mauve, with whom Vincent spent a fortnight at the time, an identification rejected by Vincent's nephew V.W. van Gogh. More notably Vincent's biographer Marc Edo Trabault identified it as a portrait of Kee Vos-Stricker, another cousin of Vincent's, who stayed at Etten in the summer of 1881, with whom Vincent famously became infatuated (M. E Trabault, Vincent van Gogh, 1969, p. 82). Jan Hulsker thought it a portrait of Willemina, the resemblance with the photo "striking" (ibid pp. 13-4)

• Letter 168 To Theo van Gogh. Etten, end of June 1881. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "Willemien has left and I’m sorry, she poses very well, I have a drawing of her and one of another girl who stayed here... 'c.f.' n.15: Drawings for which Willemien posed are not known. Hulsker suspects that F 849 was made from a photograph."
• Letter 169 To Theo van Gogh. Etten, between about Friday, 15 and on or about Wednesday, 20 July 1881. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "Prompted by a thing or two you once said, I’ve also tried to draw a couple of portraits after photographs, and hold it to be a good exercise."
