LÉVY (Henri Léopold), Peintre d'Histoire (NANCY 1840 - Paris 1904)
L.A.S. 27 December - 3pp in-8° - "My dear Monsieur de VÉJRAN. I have just received your letter and I thank you very much for it as well as for the care you have taken to my flowers which will be welcomed here, I am sure, with the pleasure of the sunburn crossing a black sky. Ours no longer has any colour, in no human language, it is mud, melting mud that comes to mingle with the mud where our feet wade. I often think of Cannes, of the azure blue that I have kept a little memory of, of our good walks, of everything that is so beautiful and so far away, alas. I impatiently await your article which will make me relive a moment in the past of yesterday, embalmed with art and beautiful nature. You are kind enough to put my name in it..." He's working on a small medallion of the Baroness's son "which will complete the decoration of the brown lounge..." He wants to have reproductions of paintings inserted in his article.
