LARSSON CARL: (1853-1919) Swedish Painter. Best known for his watercolors of idyllic family life. An excellent A.L.S., `Carl Larsson´, a bold and large good signature example, three pages, 8vo, Goteborg, 11th October 1892, to Coquelin, in French. Larsson thanks his correspondent for his generosity and states in part `..''The good God will return it to you'' says a refrain of a French ditty that I remember… we must first measure your ceiling.. And the price? Do I know it? A thousand francs? Such money which you mention referring to a watercolor will not wait for long. Will be soon in my pockets, or in the ones of my suppliers unfortunately. I do not want to keep on mistreating your nice French language.´ Extremely small overall minor age wear, otherwise VG The present letter is most probably addressed to Benoit-Constant Coquelin (1841-1909) known as Coquelin the Elder, a French Actor, a main contemporary theatrical figure.
