"It is sad to hear that it got you so badly, my darling, but it'll get better. The still life will stay as it is, I think I'll paint it tomorrow. You just make sure you'll paint again soon. The stil life is well composed and quite promising, it's a fine art, if you are capable of it. Dear greetings from your teacher."
Lovis Corinth in a correspondence with Charlotte Berend on October 12, 1902. As student of Corinth, Berend had set up a still life in a studio and began to make a study. Since she didn't get down to finish it, Corinth painted the pciture instead.
