French Fauvist and Expressionist painter, and printmaker in lithography and etching (1871–1958). ALS in French, two pages, 4.5 x 7, no date. Rouault introduces a young stained-glass artist. In part (translated): “He is a workman who loves his craft, only he does not how to say this. You will see the sketches for stained glass windows that he will bring to you. He is a fellow who really has an understanding of true stained glass; it is unfortunately a lost skill…Do not be alarmed at my silence or solitude. I hope within a year to ask you here to see a series of nature studies. I have left a few with M. H. Rupp at the Moreau Museum, but these are very fugitive notes and not expressive enough, otherwise I would have asked you to come and see them. It is probable that if next year I am more satisfied, I will hold an exhibition.” In fine condition, with central horizontal fold and overall wrinkling.
