Letter to fellow portrait and landscape artist; John Forbes White (b. Edinburgh, 1851, see Benezit) Israels discusses much concerning his work, thoughts about art in general and the art-career of his son. ”I paint a good deal. I make these fine portraits, it is fine work and I like to do it, but it will only be for a time, then I have so many things studied and worked after nature and imagination that I have always much to do to content myself.”
