[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 187861, member: 2844"]The piece of paper is part of an envelope, stamped in Vlissingen, The Netherlands. There are no mountains, let alone fjords, in The Netherlands, so it has nothing to do with the painting. The stamp on the paper means postage is paid, next to it is part of the coat of arms of Zeeland, the province in which Vlissingen is located. The words "Jessica haar beeld" mean "Jessica's statue". It could be a germanized sort of Dutch, meaning Jessica's picture. 1943 is interesting, a date? Germans in Vlissingen in 1943 would be invaders or (Jewish?) refugees.[/QUOTE]
