CHAPLIN, Charles (1825–1891), French painter. Autograph letter. Château d’Eu, May 1, 1885. 3 pp. in-8. A lovely letter regarding the full-length portrait he painted in 1885 of the Countess of Eu and Imperial Princess of Brazil, Isabelle d’Orléans-Bragance. “I will return to Paris on Sunday with the completed portrait of the Princess. The Count of Paris has very graciously authorized me to have it reproduced in any form. I am informing you of this so that you may have time to consider the format and the location where you wish to display the engraving […].” This portrait is still on display in the Salon Noir at the Château d’Eu.
