Wensbrief met man in roeiboot 1812 - 1849

This artwork, created between 1812 and 1849, is a colorful pen and ink drawing by Theodorus Johannes Wijnhoven-Hendriksen. The piece, entitled "Wensbrief met man in roeiboot" depicts a man rowing a boat in a landscape with a handwritten letter in the background. The decorative elements and the stylized handwriting in the background create a sense of formality and emphasize the importance of the written message. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of decorative art and offers a glimpse into the tradition of handwritten correspondence in the early 19th century.
