[BEAUX ARTS] PAINTERS. Approximately 360 L.A.S. from the 1860s to the 1880s; numerous envelopes. Qlq. stains, tears. Very interesting correspondence addressed to Jérôme OTTOZ (1819-1885), color merchant. Painters ask him for canvases, stretchers, brushes and colors; they ask him to do the varnishing and framing. They keep him informed of their work; in fact, Ottoz also acts as their agent, handling the management of paintings for exhibitions in Paris and the provinces.
