.
To his friend and fellow painter Bernard, with whom he had developed Synthetism at Pont-Aven in the 1880s,
Gauguin writes cheerfully:
“I just came back from Pont-Aven where I spent a few days with Filiger. Upon my return I found a letter from him.
I received news of the death of Vincent [Van Gogh?].
There is nothing to say. On the back [of the sheet], my statue [referring to one of the drawings].
My kindest regards to Madeleine your little sister.
Cordially yours”
Paul Gauguin
