Original research

I've removing the commentary "Note about named pieces: Only the Wrouwenmasker (Woman's Mask) is a known name for the sculptures, all other names have been given by the author of this article for convenience. When proper names are unearthed the article will be updated." which is problematic for several reasons; firstly, Wikipedia is not a place to invent names for things, instead they should be named as they are so described in the sources; secondly, everyone who contributes to this article is an author, so the comment is effectively meaningless.

There is also excessive genealogical information about her family. I've removed some of it (for example the biography of her father). Much of it sounds like anecdotes only a family member would know. There are better places on the internet to publish family history. However, because C.C. van Asch van Wijck is from a noble Dutch family, I'm assuming good faith that some of this information is is the public domain. Sionk (talk) 01:24, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
