Autograph letter signed to Camille Pissarro, [Paris, n.d. but circa 1884].

The letter is framed with an image of Gauguin.
Gauguin tells Pissarro that he does not expect to see him, as Pissarro has just moved, and that Durand-Ruel (the great art dealer of the Impressionists) has found Gauguin's series of canvases to be good. He invites Pissarro to a dinner at which several young admirers of his work will be present.
