This is conveyed in a letter written by the art historian A. Staring, on behalf of the Vereeniging Oranje-Nassau Museum, addressed to De Burlet, dated 19 February 1930 (in Object File), in which he stated his belief that the bronze was a portrait of William of Orange, but that his fellow colleagues expressed little support for his vision. He indicated his desire to purchase the bronze for his museum, but that he was unable to make the necessary financial arrangements, in part due to the doubt concerning the identification. See also J.
