Description

The master sculptor writes to his one-time model

ALS in French, signed “A. Rodin,” one page, 4.5 x 7, personal letterhead, March 23, 1903. Letter to his longtime friend, fellow artist, and one-time model, Emilia Cimino. In full (translated): “I am with you in New York, and I hope that you have nice weather now. Your trip has been terrible if I can judge by the storms that were in Meudon. Thank you for being so cordial! Prepare your conference or conferences for later, and see you soon.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original hand-addressed mailing envelope and a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. In 1895, Rodin purchased his villa in Meudon, a town about five miles outside of Paris, where he would carry out his most essential creative work. A bold, choice letter from the renowned sculptor.
