Pissaro, Carmille (1830-1903) French artist; the only artist to participate in all eight Impressionist exhibitions. Autograph Letter Signed ("C. Pissarro"), Paris, October 19, 1899, 3 pp octavo. To Rodolphe, one of Pissarro's six children, reproaching him and his wife for not visiting his sick brother. In part: "…You're really something. How many times we've asked you to come and we've told George, then because of a bodice [that Rodolphe's wife Amicie wanted to buy], you're putting off the trip till later. But one disappointment is enough to aggravate the invalid's condition…As far as your're concerned, it's of no consequence, knowing how indifferent you are but I don't understand Amicie!….You can be really proud of having dropped a brick on your mother…." Some brushing of the ink as Pissarro wrote hastily. A look at the great artist as a concerned and irate father. With translation.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
