Dear Mr. Pichetto:

I take pleasure in sending you herein, pamphlet on the bas-relief "Flagellation of Christ" by PIERINO DA VINCI, which we talked about this morning.

Besides the very typical characteristics of the artist, compared to the marble bas-relief of the "Madonna" at the Museo Archeologico in Milan, the Planiscig as well as by Dr. Middeldorf-who made a very complete study of Pierino.

Should you be at all interested in seeing the original, I would gladly have it sent over to you, as you will see from size that it is easily transportable.

Yours very sincerely,
(German Séligmann)

P.S. The photograph does not do justice to the bas-relief, due to the difficulty of lighting it
