Portrait of Corretje Langelaan at the age of five. Made on Hilverheuvel in Bloemendaal. This portrait of Corretje was so named by her family after her coiled braids. Corretje says that she did not really like posing and it took a long time. Despite her mother's efforts to keep her busy with games, gramophone records with songs or even by baking pancakes, Corretje hid in the attic during the break in the attic to avoid posing.
