Letter to "Mon Cher Lecomte," inviting him to lunch or dinner, and noting (translated): "I will perhaps see you at the Caillebotte exhibition which I believe must be opening in a few days." Archivally cloth-matted and framed with a self-portrait print to an overall size of 17.5 x 12.5. In fine condition. French painter Gustave Caillebotte had passed away on February 21, 1894, and Renoir was made joint executor of the will, in which Caillebotte's paintings were left to the Musee du Luxembourg and the Louvre.
