SCHEFFER Ary (1795-1858) Lot n° 39

L.A.S. "Ary Scheffer", Paris 1 March, [to Barthélemy de LAS CASES?]; 2 pages in-8 (mourning). "I have just finished and signed the two portraits of your brother, I come to ask you where you wish them to be deposited. I have ordered my gilder Fontaine, who is also yours, to make a border similar to that of the portrait of your father. In the meantime, I have had the painting intended for you framed in a temporary frame. According to your wish, I put out a little the too red tones of the chairs, I find that the portraits have gained a lot from it"... We enclose an l.s. of Miss GEORGE in Viennet, relating to a ball for the benefit of the Society of Dramatic Artists (1843), and an l.a.s. of Fromental HALÉVY in Guyardin. /
