From Antwerp to Vitré (France) in 1919

This postcard was sent from Antwerp to Vitré in France on 8 December 1919 and most likely made the trip to its destination.
The photograph shows a painting by Rubens, and the text on the reverse side talks about exchanging stamps.

Characteristics:

5c+5c plus 10c definitive of 1915 (excessive postage?)
Foreign destination, but not exotic
No cancel of arrival, but there is little doubt that the card actually traveled
Smudges on the text side

Estimated value: $60
