Description

8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium. To the lawyer and collector Paul-Arthur Ch ramy (1840-1912) about the completion of three paintings promised to the baritone and collector Jean-Baptiste Faure, who had sued him, requiring another three months to finish the work, not daring to remind Faure of the sum of 500 francs per painting that he promised him earlier: "Vous m'avez demand [.] quel temps il me faudrait, en allant au plus court et en faisant de l'ouvrage soign , pour terminer les trois tableaux de Mr Faure. Les Grosses blanchisseuses, que Mr Faure a prises telles quelles et support es chez lui pendant deux ans au moins, sont peu pr s termin es. Le plus long finir serait le Champ de Courses. La blanchisseuse en silhouette est en bon tat, non compliqu , et peut tre men e vite. Je demande trois mois pour satisfaire mon poursuivant [.] Il me semble que je vous avais parl d'une somme de 500 F par tableau achev que Mr Faure m'avait un peu promise, autrefois. Je ne tiens pas lui rappeler cette offre. Mr Faure a t trop longtemps mon cr ancier. Je l'ai fait trop attendre pour ne pas en rester l . N'en disons donc rien [.]". - In 1874, Degas had asked Faure to buy back for him from Durand-Ruel six paintings with which he was dissatisfied, undertaking to paint four large compositions in exchange. Twelve years later, when Degas had not finished some of these paintings, Faure successfully sued him for delivery. Ch ramy was Degas' lawyer in the proceedings. - With a few tiny piercings.
