Basil King

Theo/ Vincent
Theo sits next to his brother Vincent. They are sitting on a park bench.Behind them there is the path that follows a line of trees. Vincent istaller than his brother, Theo is better dressed. They are talking about their parents. Theo wants Vincent to visit them. Vincent is giving too many reasons why he shouldn’t. Someone took a photo of this encounter. The photo is now lost. But before that someone drew the two brothers. Then there was an accident. The man who drew the brothers had a child. No one knows how the child got hold of the drawing. The child drew over it with colored pencils. Because there was so much admiration for the Van Gogh brothers the drawing was framed. It now hangs on a sitting room wall somewhere in Holland.
