Description
Félix BORCHARDT (1857–1936), a German painter associated with Post-Impressionism. A signed autograph letter, in French, addressed to ‘Dear Sir’. Villers-sur-Mer – Calvados – ‘La Loggia’ [printed letterhead], 26 June. 3 pages and 2 lines, in-8° (slight crease marks in 4). He thanks his correspondent most warmly – who was probably the author of an article in the *Revue illustrée* which he has just received – for his ‘extremely kind words about [his] portrait of Emperor Wilhelm II’. He mentions that he is in the countryside with his family and adds [...] ‘I have already set to work, beginning studies for a large plein-air painting’. He hopes to meet his correspondent when he returns to Paris in the autumn.
