Brief aan Gustave Bourcard Possibly 1886

This artwork is a handwritten letter by French artist Félix Hilaire Buhot, dated November 7, 1886, addressed to Gustave Bourcard, a fellow artist and friend. Buhot's letter was possibly written in response to a previous letter from Bourcard, and reflects the artist's passionate and detailed style of communication. As a prominent artist in the late 19th century, Buhot's artwork is an important historical document reflecting his artistic practice and the world of art in Paris at the time. The Rijksmuseum is home to this piece, offering an opportunity for art lovers to study the artist's personal life and practice.
