Additional Details

"Having no information to provide you in making a lithograph from my painting, it would be essential that the draftsman who is to be in charge of it has a strong connection with the painting. I would be obliged if you would let me know who you charge with this job. It could happen that I find that someone with great talent is nevertheless unsuitable in the circumstances."
