Mr. Elgerma, a Belgium, came to Indonesia in 1917. He was a landlord. His daughter, Connie Elgerma, married to my grandfather in 1945. Elgerma gave my grandfather several paintings as wedding gift. One of these was the work of van Gogh. Once, before Elgerma died in 1952, he told that van Gogh was one his relatives in Nuenen, Holland. He was ten years younger than van Gogh.
Van Gogh gave one of his works to Elgerma in 1885 in Nuenen. Elgerma had kept the painting well and gave it to my grand father in 1945.
