    Letter to Kitson from Grahame Cotman

    Date: 1932

  • Transcription

    marked in both the portraits I have is present & the vermillion on the paint brush is typical.
    I have no knowledge whatever of such a painting & in writing you, thinking you would be interested & with your knowledge of the subject might have some information. The name “Bostock” is also unknown to me in connection with the family.
    At a guess it measures say 2 feet x 1’8”[.]
    The frame is an old pattern, I fancy of London make, & the picture has been relined at some time.
    With kind regards
    Yours faithfully
    Grahame Cotman.
