“[...] Miss Büchsel from Stralsund, a student of Lucien Simon in Paris, has been painting on Hiddensee for a long time. She knew how to make friends with the children's world there, so that the little ones willingly become her models, and many a pretty picture has already emerged from these allegations. With tireless diligence, however, she tries to express the great atmospheric moods [...] "
