Description

Choice letter to his friend and patron

ALS in French, signed “Renoir,” one page, 4 x 6.75, no date. Letter to Paul Gallimard, in full (translated): "I thought that, by waiting a little more, I would have a lot more to tell you. But since less interesting things happen to me, I don’t have anything new to tell you about. The same old things. I wake up late and go to bed early. I don’t see that many people. What about you, happy Parisian, what are you doing these days? Are you fine? I am sure you’re perfectly well, because you still go by the old French way of drinking and loving.” Impressively mounted, cloth-matted, and framed in a heavy 32 x 26 tri-fold wooden display. In fine condition. Gallimard was an important French art collector who was a close friend and supporter of Renoir. A beautifully displayed, highly desirable example. Pre-certified PSA/DNA. Please contact RR Auction for a shipping quote.
