Brief aan Jan Kalff Possibly 1905 - 1930

This is a letter written by Dutch artist Jan Veth in 1905 to his fellow artist Jan Kalff, which is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum. Veth discusses a portrait he made of a woman, possibly a commission, and the problems he encountered while working on the piece. It is an interesting example of Veth's correspondence and provides insight into his artistic process. The letter sheds light on the challenges artists faced in the early 20th century, specifically regarding the financial aspects of artistic production and commission work.
