Briefkaart aan Willem Bogtman before 1928

"Briefkaart aan Willem Bogtman" is a postcard by Dutch painter Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, dated before 1928 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. It depicts a typical Dutch postcard design with a handwritten address to Willem Bogtman, a prominent Dutch art collector, featuring a "BESTELLEN OP ZONDAG" stamp and a "2" cancellation mark, signifying the postal delivery. The artwork represents Holst's fascination with everyday objects and his use of simple, everyday materials, like postcards, as a means to explore themes of communication and human connection. The postcard's unique style and the handwritten address makes this a historically relevant artwork showcasing a snapshot into the Dutch artistic community of the early 20th century.
