This attractive Netherlands semi-postal stamp set honors three renowned Dutch painters through finely rendered portrait designs. Issued with surtax denominations (e.g., 12c +9, 4c +4, 30c +9), the additional charge supported charitable causes, a hallmark of Dutch social philately. The stamps feature Matthijs Maris (1839–1917), B.J. Blommers (1845–1914), and Cornelis Kruseman (1797–1857), presented in elegant monochrome tones that highlight classical portrait artistry. Highly regarded by collectors of art-themed stamps, semi-postals, and Netherlands cultural issues, this set combines aesthetic appeal with historical and philanthropic significance.
