| Remarks |
This young woman is presumably May, one of the sisters of Henri Goovaerts, who was 16 years old at that time. From his study years on we see the people directly surrounding Henri Goovaerts appearing regularly in his studies, drawings and paintings. At this moment of his life those people are mainly the his brothers and sisters. |
