Brief aan anoniem Possibly 1866

"Brief aan anoniem" (Letter to Anonymous), a handwritten note possibly dated 1866 by Dutch painter Jan Baptist Tetar van Elven, is on display at the Rijksmuseum. This work is a piece of ephemera that offers insight into the artist’s personal life and artistic practice. While the letter’s content is not readily apparent, it likely discusses Tetar’s artistic commissions and perhaps details specific works in progress.
