Jean-Guillaume MOITTE (1746-1810), sculptor,... - Lot 470 - Conan Belleville Hôtel d'Ainay
Jean-Guillaume MOITTE (1746-1810), sculptor, grand prix de Rome (1768), member of the Academy (1783). Autograph letter signed, 1 p. in-4. About 1805-1810. About his bust of Leonardo da Vinci for the Napoleon Museum. "I have just delivered to the administration of the Napoleon Museum, the marble bust of Léonard de Vinci []; I still received on this work, only the first installment; it thus remains due to me, the last two, which form the sum of sixteen hundred francs. I have also provided the marble, which I estimate at two hundred and fifty francs, because it has been nearly two years since this work was begun, and at this moment it would be worth nearly twice as much []. [This bust is today in the castle of Fontainebleau].
