Dirk died in 1847 from yellow fever. In 1854 Berthe moved to Galveston with a boarding school for young ladies. She could not pay the debts and moved with her half-brother Vincent Jacob and his paramour Helena Cruickshank to Batavia.That was the first time she came there. The site of the Tropenmuseum has two beautiful paintings of her. There should be a painting of her husband Dirk with Hoola van Nooten descendants in Australia. Does anayone know where it is?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483992188800546667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-2945039053447238242011-01-21T11:36:42.339+11:002011-01-21T11:36:42.339+11:00Buskin

I would be very interested in the whereabouts of some paintings of her and her husband. The paintings were done by M. Calisch. My great aunt donated the painting of Berthe to the Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. But there must be a similar painting of her husband and one of them together, which (according to the same aunt) came in the posession of the Australian side of the Hoola van Nooten family. How to bring back the three paintings together ?
