Brief aan Jan Veth Possibly 1894

This is a handwritten letter by Dutch painter Antoon Derkinderen, dated October 3, 1894, addressed to Jan Veth, a fellow artist and critic. The letter is a fascinating glimpse into the artist’s personal life, his artistic thoughts, and his relationship with the art world. The letter is written in Dutch and features a flowing script that is characteristic of Derkinderen’s style. The letter touches on the subject of art, perhaps the "Brief aan Jan Veth" is referring to a painting or commission, and offers insights into the creative process and the artist's concerns about his work. This letter, although a personal document, may shed light on Derkinderen’s artistic development and the artistic climate of the late 19th century.
