<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jussi K, post: 10658745, member: 94716&quot;]I share here the picture of a painting that my father bought somewhere in 1950s. For many decades, it has been on the wall of our living room in Helsinki, Finlad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now in 2025, I tried picture search and found a similar painting by Jeanne Brandsma, sold by Sulis Fine Art in England. They informed that &quot;Jeanne Brandsma was born in Belgium in 1902. She was married to sculptor Frederik (Frits) Jan van Hall.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Then searching for &quot;Jeanne Brandsma&quot;, I found this thread, and after reading it, I am more confused than in the beginning. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the first posts, it was revealed that the girl of the painting is Annabella, the daughter of Jeanne Brandsma.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then we had Post 5, revealing further that &quot;Jeanne Brandsma made several different portraits in the gipsy theme, signed with various signatures (Corelli, Peter, V Dias, Brandsma and others)&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Later in the thread, <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/members/12878/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/members/12878/">Radboud Stam</a> informed that Jeanne Brandsma was a pseudonym by Hendrik Theodorus Jaspers, also known as Henk Jaspers. </p><p><br /></p><p>So did I understand correctly: The girl in my painting could be called Annabella, the daughter of Jeanne Brandsma and Frits van Hall. However, Jeanna Brandsma was just a pseudonym by Henk Jaspers. So is this whole family (Jeanne, Frits, Annabella) just a fictional story? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532962[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
