Johanna van Gogh-Bonger
Johanna Gezina van Gogh-Bonger (4 October 1862 – 2 September 1925) was a Dutch editor and translator of the letters of the van Gogh brothers.
She was the wife of Theo van Gogh, art dealer, and the sister-in-law of the painter Vincent van Gogh and became a key player in the growth of Vincent's fame.
Sien (Van Gogh series)
Vincent van Gogh drew and painted a series of works of his mistress Sien during their time together in the Netherlands.
In particular, his drawing" Sorrow" is widely acknowledged as a masterwork of draftsmanship, the culmination of a long and sometimes uncertain apprenticeship in learning his craft.
Commonly called Sien Hoornik, Clasina Maria Hoornik( 1850 – 1904) lived with van Gogh during much of his time in The Hague from 1881 to 1883.
Van Gogh used Sien, a pregnant prostitute, as a model for his work and later took Sien and her daughter into his home.
Van Gogh made drawings and paintings of Sien and her daughter, baby and mother over that period, which reflected the domestic life and hardships of the working poor.
Their relationship was not accepted by his family or supporters, although his brother
Theo did not withdraw his support over it.
It did contribute undoubtedly, however, to a split with Anton Mauve, a cousin- in- law and noted painter of the Hague School, who had introduced van Gogh to painting as well as supporting him financially, and whom van Gogh revered.
At his brother Theo's urging, van Gogh left Sien in 1883 to paint in Drenthe, ending the only domestic relationship he would ever have.
Sien resumed her life as a seamstress, cleaning woman and likely prostitute before marrying in 1901.
On 12 November 1904, aged 54, she threw herself into the Schelde river and drowned, fulfilling a prediction she had made to van Gogh in 1883:" what the bad moods are is still more desperate ...' it's bound to end up with me jumping into the water.

He mentioned that Van Gogh was not very strong, and so this was a very melancholy circumstance.
In several letters over the remainder of the year, Bonger comments on a growing appreciation for and friendship with Theo.
Vincent van Gogh arrived in Paris in 1886 which meant that Bonger saw less of Theo.
