Brief aan Ferdinand Leenhoff Possibly 1895 - 1899

This handwritten letter, “Brief aan Ferdinand Leenhoff”, is a personal note written by Dutch artist August Allebé, dated sometime between 1895 and 1899. The letter is addressed to Ferdinand Leenhoff, likely a fellow artist or art patron, and discusses a possible art project or collaboration related to the "Grooten Plaag" (the plague), as well as other general artistic topics of the time. The letter is a fascinating glimpse into Allebé's personal life and artistic practice and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
