Brief aan de commissie van de tentoonstelling gehouden door Genootschap Kunstliefde Possibly 1865

This handwritten document, "Brief aan de commissie van de tentoonstelling gehouden door Genootschap Kunstliefde" (Letter to the committee of the exhibition held by the Society of Art Lovers), dated possibly 1865, was written by Dutch painter Dirk van Lokhorst (1818-1893) and is now in the Rijksmuseum. It details a financial transaction concerning an artwork he was selling or had sold, likely to the committee. The document demonstrates the bureaucratic and practical aspects of the art world during this period, and provides insight into the artist's business dealings.
