Brief aan de Commissie van de Tentoonstelling van Levende Meesters in Amsterdam Possibly 1810 - 1818

This is a handwritten letter from Dutch artist Jurriaan Andriessen, dated 1810. It is a letter of request to the Exhibition of Living Masters in Amsterdam. The letter is addressed to the "de Gravengracht," and in his handwritten signature, Andriessen states his name and the location where he lives, "Amitildan" (likely a mistake, since he lived in Amsterdam). This piece provides a glimpse into the artistic world of the early 19th century in the Netherlands, showcasing the process of applying for art exhibitions.
