Gentlemen:

In March, 1961, I purchased from you "The Halberdier", an oil on canvas by Simon Vouet, size 41" x 32-3/8". I am enclosing a copy of your description of oil.

I am lead to believe that this painting has appreciated in value since 1961 and I am under-insured. I have it in my home.

Could you, or would you be good enough to give me a fair market value for insurance purposes on this painting? If you are not able to can you tell me whom I might contact for an appraisal so that it may be insured for an adequate amount?

Many thanks for your kindness and courtesies.

Sincerely, 

Nathaniel Soifer
