Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken before 1899

This is a postcard, or "Briefkaart", addressed to Philip Zilcken in Bezuidenhout, the Netherlands. The postcard was sent before 1899, likely by the Dutch artist Jan Toorop (1858-1928). The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the everyday life of Toorop and his correspondence network. The postcard's simplicity contrasts with the artistic complexity of Toorop's paintings, revealing a personal side of the famous Symbolist painter.
