Highly influential French painter (1840–1926) who was among the leading figures of the impressionist movement, which took its name from the title of one of Monet’s works. ALS in French, one page, 4.5 x 7, February 14, 1891. Letter to his friend Jules Cheret, painter and after Toulouse-Lautrec, the most famous poster designer of his day. In full (translated): “I have many apologies to make to you for having so long delayed to thank you for your shipment. You will pardon me I hope. I am delighted to have seen them—some of them are divine—and everyone shares my admiration. My best compliments to Madame Cheret and to you and thank you again.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of toning, a few scattered brushes to text, and some light soiling along right edge. The "shipment" Monet refers to probably contained posters, some of which Monet thought "divine." Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
