French Impressionist landscape painter (1839-1899). ALS in French, signed “A. Sisley,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, no date. Handwritten letter to "Monsieur de Bollio," asking for medical advice. In part (translated): "What should I give to my boy who has had frequent nasal bleeding, quite abundant. It is such an incredible heat isn’t it? And happy are those that can remain at home between their four thick walls the windows well shut and a good book on hand. For me I wet many shirts a day and if I only listened to myself I would take three showers a day, one in the morning, one before lunch and one before dinner." Below his signature, Sisley makes note of his address in Moret-sur-Loing—a frequent subject of his landscape paintings. In fine condition.
