Jo Koster painted since 1900 in Staphorst. She found het subjects mostly at home. People in national costume, interiors and farms. Staphorst conquered a place in her heart. When she later returns to Staphorst after years, she writes' Finally we arrived in Staphorst and my old heart went for a run, first I went to Eultien Klein, she recognized me immediately, already has big children, and told me that Beppe died six years ago. Also that Jan's children are now all married and he lives alone.
