Antoine-Jean GROS, known as Baron GROS (1771-1835)
Autograph letter signed, probably to the Duc de Richelieu. Paris, August 3, 1816. 1 p. in-4.
Beautiful letter of thanks concerning his admission to the "Conseil des Musées Royaux". He was favored by the King (at that time Louis XVIII), who graciously honored the appointment after being suggested by his minister. "It is with deep gratitude that I receive the new favor which His Majesty has just honored me by deigning to notice my name, which your sole benevolence has brought before his eyes, and thus admit me to the Conseil de Musées Royaux. We would like to multiply His means as much as the King multiplies His kindnesses...".
A lithographed portrait of the painter is included.
Expert: Mr. Daniel Brukarz, CEA expert. Tel : 06 09 26 03 49.
