This piece is a simple inscription written by Dutch painter Jan Veth, likely to his fellow artist F.E. Posthumus Meyjes. It's a glimpse into Veth's life, especially poignant considering he died a year later in 1925. The inscription's simplicity reflects a period of great artistic development and change in the Netherlands, where Veth was a prominent figure. The inscription, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small yet valuable artifact, reminding viewers of the personal connections behind great artistic endeavors.
