The undersigned who shall write a book for H. Aschehoug on

“Female portraits in Norwegian painting” (a pictorial review),

permit themselves to enquire whether You might provide us with any in-

formation about a female portrait by Astrup. It is the painter

Harald Kihle who had advised us to contact You.

The portrait is supposed to be in a vertical format, in addition we would be

grateful for information regarding the title, owner, etc. – in general

any information that might possibly be of interest. Further-

more, if it is possible: a good photograph for reproduction.

We look forward to hearing from You soonest, preferably by the beginning of

February, because the publishing house would like to begin work as soon as possible.

Most respectfully

Please address the information to: Reidar Revold,
