| Description | Letter to Macdonald from A. Toulmouche, 70, rue Notre Dame des Champs, Paris (with English translation), saying that he is flattered by Macdonald's request for one of his pictures, and notes that they are almost always of the same size: 60cm by 45 cm. Prices vary according to subject - one of 3 or 4 figures costing up to £600, and 2 figures from £400, but if the above prices are too high, he can do a reproduction of another painting for less. Invites him to Paris to choose a subject, but if Macdonald cannot, asks him to write detailing what he would like based on Toulmouche's previous work, very busy at present and would require approximately a year before he can start the painting, 27 April 1868. |
