JONGKIND, Johann Barthold (1819–1891). Autograph letter signed “Jongkind,” Paris, January 3, 1883, to Louis de FOURCAUD; 3½ pages, in-8. Note: The art critic Louis de FOURCAUD (1851–1914) was a great admirer of Jongkind’s watercolor art; he wrote the prefaces to the two auction catalogs of Jongkind’s watercolors at the Hôtel Drouot in December 1891 and December 1902, paying tribute to Jongkind’s art. Jongkind thanks Fourcaud for his letter, “and for all the praise my painting may have inspired.” He expects him the next day after lunch: “I am staying in seclusion on the third floor with my relative at 5 Rue de Chevreuse in Paris—but the children are in the Dauphiné with some friends, where we are going to rest for good. For I am tired and, at this moment, in pain. As I am currently working on a painting depicting a view of the harbor of Rotterdam, I would very much like to show you this painting before it is finished”….
