PISSARRO, Camille (1830-1903). Autograph letter signed ("C. Pissarro") to his niece, WITH A SMALL DRAWING OF A VEILED WOMAN, n.p., n.d. ("Friday"). 2 pages, slight browning, FINELY FRAMED in a brown and gold wood frame with taupe matting and an illustration of Pissarro seated at his easel (unexamined out of frame). In French.
In a light, affectionate tone, one of the most influential members of the Impressionist school consoles his young niece: "How sorry we are for your adventures! We sincerely pity you, we will try with all our effort to blot out these nasty memories!!!" and asks her to bring with her on next visit, "if you wish not to be scolded,...6 Emerald [oils] and 6 white. We have not received the colors from Paris. Poor little scared bird thrashed by the storm we kiss you and hope that you will not lose the map in getting off the train." He signs the letter "your scolding old uncle!" In a postscript with a drawing of a woman in a veil, Pissarro requests a packet of French Caporal tobacco, which "is impossible to find here, it's atrocious," and sends "Our best regards to Alice and Aurelie when are they coming it would be very fine!! We will feed them well!" Pissaro's letters are uncommon.
