Description

"I am drawing my little dog for you"

TLS, one page, 5.5 x 7.5, personal letterhead, August 29, 1972. Letter to Mark Minguillon, in full: "This is in reply to your letter of the 31st. In your fourth paragraph you say I have changed my 'art means' from oil to graphics. I have always done both. Most of the time I paint oil paintings on canvas, but sometimes I do drawings to reproduce as graphics. I am drawing my little dog for you at the bottom of this letter. Thank you for writing me." Rockwell adds a ballpoint sketch of a seated dog with an open tin can tied to its tail. Framed to a slightly larger size. In fine condition. A wonderfully brief missive boasting both ideal content and a sought-after original sketch from the great American artist.
