Adolphe APPIAN (1818–1898), French painter. Signed autograph - Lot 108
Adolphe APPIAN (1818–1898), French painter. Signed autograph letter to the author of an article published in the newspaper “L’Artiste.” Lyon, April 9, 1883. One page, in-8 format, on paper embossed with his initials (slight creases where folded into quarters). The painter expresses his gratitude for the article but is surprised, since he did not submit any work for the exhibition held in Tarare. He suspects a dealer is involved and protests, “Shouldn’t commissions be accepted [...] only with the artist’s authorization?—I did not wish to be included [6 words underlined].” He asks the recipient if he knows who sent the painting and, if so, to please let him know.
