more people will understand. It has I mean a certain note of popularity. It is at once very realistic and very romantic. I don't for a moment think you would ever regret getting it. It is undoubtedly a masterpiece and one that everyone would recognize as such. I only mean that it does not touch the highest notes of Rembrandt's imagination. It is like a recurrence in his later years of the mood of his early intensely realistic portraits. It is in fact more liberal more terre à terre than the greatest of his late works.
The price I am told is £80,000. Of course this is a very high price but I am told that Lord Feversham will not take less. I should have though that even at present rpices 65 or 70 thousand would have represented its value. However this is for you to decide. I may add that Lord Feversham is very old and infirm and that he may die at any moment. In the event of his death it could not be sold for fourteen years as it would need the consent of the next heir who us only seven years old.
Yours very sincerely, (Signed) Roger Fry.
