"C'est encore au sujet de mon ami André Legrand"

Autograph letter from painter Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret to painter Lucien Monod. The painter seeks his friend's help for painter André Legrand, who was also fond of Breton scenes in his paintings and reproduced through his works the Parisian nightlife of the Belle Époque. One sheet.
Trained in the studios of Alexandre Cabanel and Jean-Léon Gérôme, Dagnan-Bouveret received the second Prix de Rome. Of naturalist inspiration, he devoted himself to religious painting and had a prolific career as a portraitist at the end of his life. He received prestigious commissions from the Countess of Béarn and the New York Frick family.
