Nuenen: The Begemann family lived in Huis Nuneville. While Vincent’s mother was recovering from a broken leg in 1884 and he was looking after her at home, one of the Begemann sisters, Margot took over the sewing circle. Vincent and Margot fell in love with each other. But their families were completely against the relationship. The already nervous Margot became so distressed that she took a dose of poison. Vincent took her to a doctor. While recovering in Utrecht from this suicide attempt he seriously considered marrying her. No marriage ever happened.
