Lucien SIMON (1861–1945), French painter and lithographer. S - Lot 147
Lucien SIMON (1861–1945), French painter and lithographer. Signed autograph letter addressed to [Charles] Masson in Strasbourg [autograph envelope enclosed]. [Paris] Thursday evening [postmark from March 1907]. 2 pages, in-12 format (fold mark where the page was folded in four; small tear in the margin with no loss of text). He confirms a message he sent by telegram, stating that he agrees to sell “the still life of the lobster for the sum of 1,400 francs” [...] a sum he considers more than “generous.” He adds: “The appreciation you show for my painting touches me deeply, in that sensitive spot every painter hides in his heart” [...]. He regrets not being able to make the planned trip and laments: “Will I ever see the spire of Strasbourg now?”
