Sinterklaas schrijft een brief 1896 - 1937

"Sinterklaas schrijft een brief" (Sinterklaas writes a letter), a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Dora Struick du Moulin, depicts a scene with Sinterklaas seated at a table, writing a letter. The image is rendered in black and white, with detailed hatching and cross-hatching. It features the legendary figure of Sinterklaas, a beloved figure in Dutch Christmas traditions, who is responsible for delivering gifts to children on December 5th. Two small figures, possibly representing Black Pete, the companion of Sinterklaas, are visible in the foreground, symbolizing the holiday tradition. This drawing, created between 1896 and 1937, exemplifies du Moulin's signature style and her interest in portraying traditional Dutch folklore.
