Briefkaart aan jonkheer Hendrik Teding van Berkhout (1879-1969) Possibly 1932

Here's a quick message from Willem Adrianus Grondhout to jonkheer Hendrik Teding van Berkhout written in 1932. Imagine Grondhout sitting at his desk with his pen in hand, carefully considering the placement of each word. You can see his signature in these swirling lines, almost like a little dance. The script is flowing, a dark ink on creamy paper, revealing an intimate glimpse into the artist’s world. The smudges and slight imperfections tell a story of their own. In that moment, Grondhout wasn't just conveying information; he was leaving a piece of himself on the paper. What was he feeling as he wrote, and what thoughts were swirling in his mind? We can only guess! It's the way artists communicate with each other across time, sharing a fleeting moment of life through a humble postcard.
