Mrs. H. I. Pratt,
58 East 68th Street,
New York City. 

Dear Mrs. Pratt, 

We would like to call your attention to a most remarkable late 16th Century Spanish picture which we have recently acquired from a French collection. 

It is a portrait of a very good looking lady of title in the elaborate dress of the period, and it is painted by Fantoja de la Cruz, who was one the favorite painters of Philip the Second and Philip the Third before Valasquez. There are about a dozen examples of his work in the Madrid gallery, but our picture is considered to be one of the finest things he ever painted. 

If you feel that you would be at all interested, we would be very pleased to show it to you at any time you could conveniently call in here.

Hoping to be favored with your visit, we are 

Yours very truly,

JACQUES SELIGMANN & CO., Inc.
