Description

Chagall hopes to display a recently sold painting at the Salon of Independent Artists

ALS in French, one page, 8.25 x 10.5, January 21. Letter to French art dealer Berthe Weill, in full: "I hope that you are well after receiving all the world's good well-wishes. One will cherish the good memory of that gay evening inspired as it was with your good humor. I would like to request that if the buyer of my last painting permits me, I will exhibit it at the retrospective exposition of the Salon of Independent Artists. I don't have paintings at my house—everything is currently exhibited, the majority in America, several others a little everywhere, and after all people said that it is a good painting worthy of being exhibited. I would be very grateful if you would give me news." In fine condition, with scattered light foxing.
