Three original vintage ink sketches by noted French artist Robert Kastor on individual 10 x 12 off-white sheets, each signed by the respective author pictured. Portraits are of Vicente Blasco Ibanez, signed (translated): “A life without ideals isn’t worth living. Vicente Blasco Ibanez, Paris 1924”; Jose Maria de Pereda, signed (translated): “To forget God is to walk blindly on the road of life. J. M. de Pereda (of the Royal Spanish Academy)”; and Ramon Perez de Ayala, who writes a 22-line rhyming ballad about a knight dying by the roadside beginning (translated): “Old stone-circled city…Why do you lie here in the dust of the road, fine caballero? I have drunk to the dregs my wine in the chalice of destiny…To sleep. To die. Nothing more I desire.” In fine condition.
