This handwritten letter, dated December 27, 1910, is addressed to P. Haverkorn van Rijsewijk. Written by the art dealership Frans Buffa en Zonen, the letter concerns a painting that was recently brought to their Amsterdam gallery. The piece was not purchased by a collector in Amsterdam and has since returned to the UK. Buffa en Zonen assures the recipient that they will notify him if the painting is sold and express their regret for the delay in their response. This correspondence, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the workings of the art market in the early 20th century.
