‘… Dearest Nel, it always seems to me that I haven’t yet shown you just how much I really love you the way you deserve.’(Rik Wouters in a letter to Nel 3 October 1914)Rik Wouters’s favourite subject was his wife Nel. Even when illness made it diffcult for him to work in 1915, he still made watercolours like this one of her.
