Brief aan Philip Zilcken before 1892

This artwork is a letter from the Dutch painter Matthijs Maris to Philip Zilcken, dated before 1892. The envelope bears the inscription "Holland" in the top left corner and the address "Ph. Zilcken, Esq. residing at The Hague." The envelope is decorated with five stamps with the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina on them, and the letter is housed at the Rijksmuseum. This artwork is a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of the artist, and the letter itself could potentially shed light on his artistic practice and personal relationships.
