Description

"I am surely no connoisseur of art, but these two pictures captured my eye and my imagination"

TLS signed "Bing," one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 27, 1952. Letter to Chet Sampson, sending thanks for two pictures. In part: "The lovely Mexican oil paintings arrived in wonderful shape and I certainly want to thank you and the boys and girls from Grosse Pointe High very much…I am surely no connoisseur of art, but these two pictures captured my eye and my imagination. I've seen many just scenes as those depicted when I was in Mexico…and they remind me of my visits there." In fine condition, with scattered light toning to right side. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
