Description

Renoir congratulates Monet on the marriage of his son: "I can only send all my best wishes and congratulations to the young couple"

ALS in French, signed "Renoir," one page, 4.5 x 7, June 8, 1897. Handwritten letter to fellow Impressionist painter Claude Monet, expressing congratulations on the marriage of Monet's son, Jean, to Blanche Hoschedé. In part (translated): "I can only send all my best wishes and congratulations to the young couple, and I will come see you another time. I always wanted to come to find out if you had recovered from your back pain. But nothing is as difficult as leaving Paris for two hours, at one's leisure." In fine condition. A fantastic piece of correspondence between two of the world's most celebrated painters.
