- the angel flying away, upper left, was a most beautiful piece of painting - but curiously enough it fetched the least (only £3,000). If you had any definite market in mind, and thought it worth while making an enquiry from Sothebys, I dare say they would put you in touch with the owner. In my opinion they are all Antonio, and not Francesco Guardi.

Thank you very much indeed for your charming Christmas card. With very best wishes for the New Year to Mrs Seligman and yourself. 

Yours very sincerely,
