Brief aan August Allebé Possibly 1890

This handwritten letter, "Brief aan August Allebé," is a personal correspondence by Dutch art critic Victor de Stuers to the artist August Allebé, likely written around 1890. This piece, housed at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the personal interactions of Dutch art world figures and provides insight into de Stuers's critical analysis of Allebé's work. It appears that the subject of the letter is a specific piece by Allebé: "Etude dus een arts Martigues an Mel" with a possible connection to the artist's "The Death of the Firstborn."
