Item #41795 Autograph Letter Signed. Briton RIVIERE.

Autograph Letter Signed.

This English artist exhibited the usual classical and literary themes at the Royal Academy and other distinguished venues, and even dabbled in illustration art briefly, but before long realized that painting animals of all sorts was his true vocation and this he did for much of his long career. Item #41795

Brief ALS, 2pp (lettersheet), 4½" X 7", Flaxley, England, 4 February 1887. Addressed to "Dear Madam." Penned in brown ink in his usual hurried scrawl, Riviere here sends "regret that it is not in my power to assist your undertaking. Owing to the state of my health I have been obliged for many years to limit very closely my hours of work & to confine myself entirely to such work as the exercise of my profession...." A nice example.

Price: $95.00
