Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1918

This is a handwritten postcard by Belgian artist Hélène van Goethem, dated May 2, 1918, addressed to Philip Zilcken in The Hague, Netherlands. The postcard is a message of friendship and likely a check-in on Zilcken's well-being, with an inquiry about someone named Jetty. Hélène van Goethem was a well-known painter and member of the Brussels art scene, known for her landscapes and portraits. The postcard is a unique insight into the personal life of a prominent artist and a fascinating artifact of the time, particularly given its date during World War I.
