Remarks |
In the period 1902-1904 Henri Goovaerts stayed with his wife Lily and their sons Hans and Heinz in Switzerland, where Henri was commissioned to make a large number of portraits of the local textile industrials and their family members. Lily Goovaerts' archive contains photographs from that period in which Lily wears similar hats with flowers and bows. |
