Brief aan anoniem Possibly 1821

"Brief aan anoniem" is a letter written by Cornelis Apostool, a Dutch painter, on August 10, 1821, likely in Aix-la-Chapelle. The letter is a handwritten request for support from a patron for his art collection, which was likely a collection of work from the painter himself. The letter is a testament to the practice of patronage, where artists would often rely on the support of wealthy individuals to further their careers. The letter was likely delivered by another patron who Apostool hoped would be supportive of his work.
