EXCERT OF LETTER DATED DECEMBER 19, 1940, FROM MR. GERMAIN SELIGMAN TO MR. ARTHUR SACHS Now as regards the TITIAN portrait of which you very kindly gave me a photograph yesterday, the price which you want to obtain is at least $35,000., net to you - I to quote a figure around $45,000., or $50,000., on which selling price I would receive 15%. I trust that these represent our "gentlemen's agreement". In connection with the latter portrait, I am wondering whether you recall if and where it has been exhibited since it has been in your possession. I am just asking you this, as you know in this country whatever data one has about so important a painting is valuable. (Footnote handwritten by Mr. Sachs): I do not recall the Titian Portrait being exhibited. I think once lent to Fogg Museum.
