Addressed to the widow of the collector Heinrich Kirchhoff, who had died a few days earlier: ‘... A great many artists and sincere art lovers will remember our dear friend and patron forever. A sincere and profound love of art is not part of everyday life, especially in times when material possessions take centre stage. Kirchhoff leaves a great void for us all, and (with his death) this enthusiasm has come to an end. With warmest regards, also from my wife, yours most sincerely’.
