| Description | Letter to Alexander Macdonald of Kepplestone from John Pettie, 21 St. John's Wood Road, N.W. London, afraid that his picture was too large for Macdonald, 'replicas are unfair things, both to artist and buyer, they are generally duffin' and are demoralising to have to paint', very sorry that this painting does not suit, July [1871?] |
