Stays in the Netherlands ( Katwijk , Elspeet ) are documented for the years 1909/1910. In 1910 he married Evaline Vlierboom (1888–1970) there. In 1917 he portrayed his friend, the marine painter Carl Wilhelm Bøckmann Barth (1847-1919), in the same year the politician Gert Falch Heiberg (1871-1944) and his relative, the writer Margrethe Munthe , the sister of the painter Gerhard Munthe .
