Brief aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1928

This handwritten letter, likely from 1928, was penned by Dutch artist Wijnand Otto Jan Nieuwenkamp (1874-1950). The letter, addressed to Philip Zilcken, is a testament to Nieuwenkamp's dedication to his art, mentioning a "tentoonstelling" (exhibition) at the Pulbbli Herdin, an art institution where he hoped his work would be appreciated. Nieuwenkamp's personal correspondence offers insight into the behind-the-scenes world of a prominent artist and provides a rare glimpse into his thoughts about his work. The letter's delicate script and its mention of an exhibition suggest Nieuwenkamp's involvement with the art scene and his active pursuit of recognition.
