Autograph letter signed by Edouard Vuillard addressed to the architect and designer Bolette Natanson, written in blue ink on a paper framed in black : "My dear Bolette, Sorry to have kept you waiting on my reply, I kept hoping to have the time to come see you. It is not me who adjusts the frame so I find it fair to pay this price for it".
A friend of the painter Edouard Vuillard, Bolette Natanson framed several of his works. Bonnard was a longtime friend of the Natansons (Thadée and Reine), whom he continued to see throughout his life in Normandy or in Paris. Their niece, Bolette Natanson, daughter of Alexandre, whom Bonnard knew as a child, became a well-known decorator. She worked with the architect and decorator Jean-Charles Moreux and recommended Bonnard in 1927 for a series of paintings set to adorn a private mansion that Moreux was decorating (including the Vue du Cannet now at the Musée Bonnard, le Cannet, France).
