ALS in French, signed “Renoir,” one page, 4 x 5.25, March 24, 1894. Renoir invites himself with a friend to see Claude Monet at Giverny, in full (translated): "Deconchy and myself will go to Giverny on Monday after Easter to see you. Please send a telegram as soon as possible to tell us if you will be there and if we do not disturb you. We will take the train at 8 in Paris and will arrive by foot if the weather is good. It will depend." He adds a postscript along the left edge: "We will not come if we do not get the telegram on Sunday." In fine condition. The other guest is presumably landscape painter Ferdinand Deconchy, who was acquainted with Monet and lived just a few miles from Giverny. A charming artistic association piece, connecting two titans of the Impressionist movement.
