Dear Mr.Seligman,
You must have wondered what had become of your new client and your Lehmann picture - I must say that buying this work has been difficult.
The quality of the picture is most evident to me - the dark tones I did not find so appealing. I think the frame is rather heavy and accentuates the darkness. But quality tells and in this case sells so I am happy to enclose my check for $5,000.00 to cover.
At the museum I found a book by Walter Pach on Ingres; 1939, Harper, which has several references to Lehmann and on page 89, he is identified as the teacher of Seurat.
I am looking forward to the arrival of the Clouet and suggest that you ship the week of
