Eugène Fromentin (1820-1876) Writer & Painter Signed Autograph Letter

  

He is one of the major representatives of Orientalist painting. Inspired by the great impossible love of his adolescence for a married neighbor, "Dominique," first published in the Revue des Deux Mondes from April 15 to May 15, 1862, and dedicated to George Sand, is, among the autobiographical novels of his century, one of the most remarkable. Fromentin, who does not see himself as a writer, will not publish any other work. Rare - Signed autograph letter (front/back).
