Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken before 1893

This artwork is a postcard sent by Dutch painter Willem Witsen to Philip Zilcken before 1893. Witsen, a prominent figure in the Hague School movement, captured daily life and social realism in his artwork. The postcard, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the personal correspondence of this influential artist. The inscription "Briefkaart" (postcard) on the card reflects the everyday use of such communication in the late 19th century.
