Description

Renoir prepares to receive a sculptor from art dealer Ambroise Vollard

ALS in French, signed “Renoir,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.25 x 6.5, 1 Place de l'Eglise-du-Voeu letterhead, January 25, 1914. Letter to art dealer Ambroise Vollard. Writing from Cagnes, Renoir says that he is ready to receive "the sculptor" whom Vollard is sending. He recommends that the sculptor should not miss the "male and female model" that he likes. In part (translated): "If the large statue won't come off, he can handle the clock. He will not be short of work. I am not going to interfere in all that." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Renoir's hand.
