"Wensbrief met decoratief kader," a decorative letter frame, is attributed to weduwe C. Kok-van Kolm and dates to the period between 1775 and 1850. The work features elaborate Rococo-style flourishes filled with vignettes depicting scenes of daily life in a Dutch town, including figures in traditional dress and a horse-drawn carriage. This type of decorative artwork was commonly used in the Netherlands as a frame for personal letters. The work is currently held by the Rijksmuseum.
