This is a receipt, or "Kwitantie" in Dutch, for the sale of a painting by Willem Maris. It reads, "Received from Messrs. Frans Buffa & Sons, the sum of two hundred and fifty guilders for a painting in oil and watercolour." Signed and dated "Amsterdam 4 November 1874," this is an important document for art historians and collectors interested in Willem Maris's career and the market for his work in the 19th century.
