Et des gens sans aucune descisions. Donc affaire morte."" ""l'Arlésienne cannot be made because monsieur son-in-law Prouvost and company are fools. And people without any decisions.

‎s. l.: S. n. 1920. Fine. S. n. s. l. s. d. 1920 22.50 x 18 cm une page recto-verso Autograph letter signed by the dandy count 55 lines written in black ink probably addressed to his friend and bibliographer the critic Henri Lapauze in which Robert de Montesquiou refined and confirmed collector rebels against the fact that his correspondent contests the authenticity of an Ingres drawing that forms part of his private collection. Stung to the quick as an experienced collector he nevertheless consents with grateful magnanimity not to hold it against Henri Lapauze. Fold marks inherent to mailing. ""7 décembre je vous ferai tout d'abord remarquer mon cher confrère que me voici de votre part en butte à cette forme d'indignité qui menace les collectionneurs complaisants auxquels on finit par contester l'authenticité des objets d'art communiqués ou prêtés par eux sur instante demande. Rougissez ! Le dessin est signé d'Ingres et daté de 1835. Ce qui selon moi et contrairement à votre insinuation le signe davantage c'est précisément son inimitable faire au point que si contre toute vraisemblance l'oeuvre était d'un autre maître il faudrait le regretter pour Ingres. Quant au modèle l'attribution est moins sûre. On me l'a donnée pour un Liszt adolescent et c'est vraisemblable. Mais je n'affirme rien et d'ailleurs cela m'est égal. En résumé s'il m'avait tout d'abord paru regrettable que cet inique traitement me vînt de vous je l'ai préféré ensuite à cause de beaucoup de bons et d'inoubliés offices qui me permettent de vous pardonner. Allez et ne pêchez plus ! Cte Robert de Montesquiou. P.S. Je pourrai me procurer une indication de vente que je vous donnerai."" ""December 7 I will first point out to you my dear colleague that here I am on your part subjected to this form of indignity that threatens accommodating collectors whose authenticity of art objects communicated or loaned by them upon urgent request is eventually contested. Blush! The drawing is signed by Ingres and dated 1835. What in my opinion and contrary to your insinuation authenticates it further is precisely its inimitable execution to the point that if against all likelihood the work were by another master it would have to be regretted for Ingres. As for the model the attribution is less certain. I was told it was an adolescent Liszt and it is plausible. But I affirm nothing and besides it doesn't matter to me. In summary if it had initially seemed regrettable to me that this iniquitous treatment should come from you I preferred it afterwards because of many good and unforgotten services that allow me to forgive you. Go and sin no more! Count Robert de Montesquiou. P.S. I will be able to obtain a sale indication which I will give you."" S. n. unknown‎
