'A' is for Albert Anker



Sender: Goyesca
Albert Anker (1831 - 1910) was a Swiss painter and illustrator.  His signature theme: the everyday life of people in rural communities. The card depicts his painting, "A Gotthelf Reader", 1884. Gotthelf being Jeremias Gotthelf, the pen name of a Swiss novelist, Albert Bitzius (October 4, 1797 – October 22, 1854).

I love this painting, TQ Goyesca!
