Dear Germain:

Perls, the father, asked for my visit and showed me a painting by Daumier which represents a mandolin player on a kind of terrace or balcony, with green trees in the background and a blue sky. The personage himself has good volume, good movement, but he is gray with black outlining. To my feeling, the painting is unfinished. It is "HD".

Excellent pedigree: Was in the Doria Sale in 1896, from what Perls said, Doria bought most of his paintings directly from the artist and had stopped buying Daumier before 1860.
