Autograph letter from the Dutch painter known as a leading member of the Hague School of landscape painters, concerning the sale of a painting. The Hague, July 14, 1892. Israëls writes: "My dear Mr. Levy, I was very astonished and pleased to hear from Mr. Fred. Pawle that I have to send to you the picture that I have now finished called Before the Church. I did my best to give you a piece of work that I like myself and finished it to my best views. I hope you will be satisfied with it and tell me the good receipt. I shall be glad to hear how your brothers are and when I come in London perhaps next year where I can find them. With kind regards, yours faithfully, Jozef Israels. P. S. I believe I settled the prize [price] with Mr. Pawle upon 70 G. St.[?]" 2 pp. Heavy folding creases with several splits; two recent tape repairs to the recto and two older tape repairs to the verso.
