Brief aan anoniem Possibly 1814

"Brief aan anoniem" (Letter to Anonymous), possibly dated 1814, is a handwritten letter by English artist Charles Howard Hodges (1764-1837), currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The letter is a personal communication, likely written in Dutch, and is not a work of art in the traditional sense. The letter provides insight into Hodges' personal life and the social dynamics of the time. The wax seal, a common feature in correspondence of the era, adds a historical touch to the artwork.
