About this work
In 1881 Elbert Jan van Wisselingh succeeded his father as owner of the art firm with which Breitner was primarily affiliated. In the period when Breitner was painting the ‘girls in kimonos’ Van Wisselingh was established in London and so Klaas Groesbeek was the artist’s direct contact person. The three men were also friends; Van Wisselingh and Groesbeek served as witnesses at Breitner and Marie Jordan’s marriage in 1901.
