4th February 1961

Dear Mr. Seligman,

Thank you for your letter of 1st February.

I'm afraid there is not a great deal I can add to the description in the catalogue. The drawing seems not to be for any known painting, but it is certainly early and probably pre-Roman. It compares with the drawings and some of paintings published by Sir Anthony Blunt in the Burlington Magazine, July and August 1944.

The inscription on the back is interesting and I am reliably informed that some of the Louvre drawings are similarly inscribed, though of course these are for the most part later in date

Yours sincerely,

WR Jeudwine
