Swedish painter, sculptor, and etcher (1860–1920) who found international success as one of the most acclaimed artists of his era. ALS in Swedish, signed “Zorn,” one page both sides, 5 x 8, Cavendish Buildings letterhead, January 19, 1884. Letter concerning some artwork, in part (translated): "I have received the paintings today and have given one of those (Morgonstamning) to the framer which I think is the best, then sending this one to exposition. Well I think that you should have shown a little more guts since last time…But next time it’s better for you send it directly to the 19th Century Art Society…I will let you know when I leave the paintings whether it’s 3 pounds 3 shillings or 2 guineas. When you go to the next exposition and want to send one painting or more, you just can fill in the prospect…Maybe you think it’s rude by me but I have to make the price 18 pounds, they shouldn’t be hard to sell." In fine condition, with a light stain to the lower right corner. Zorn traveled extensively throughout Great Britain, France, Balkans, Spain, Italy, and the United States, and lived at the Cavendish Buildings in London during the 1880s. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
