Wensbrief met gezicht op Delft 1856

This 1856 anonymous artwork, titled "Wensbrief met gezicht op Delft" and housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a Dutch example of a "wensbrief" or a "wish letter." The artwork features a delicate floral border surrounding a hand-written poem and a depiction of the city of Delft. The poem appears to be a religious message, while the depiction of Delft suggests this artwork may have been a personal gift. The use of the Dutch tri-color in the upper right corner hints at national pride.
