Fragment of a Letter from Egon Schiele to Anton Peschka from Trieste, 14th May 1912

Translation of the Transcription:

it is high time that you saw Trieste! – You could immediately hold an exhibition there, there are entirely different people there and an international public! You and I would do this exhibition together. – I am sitting in the cafe at the top of this new, largest hotel on the pier; everything is teeming with the noblest, purest and deepest colors – tremendous! – Once I have received the money, I will come back here, and will write to you before you come about everything I have seen at the Wörthersee and here, now I will set to work.

Send 50 K [crowns] at once to me, Egon Schiele, presently Trieste, Hotel Europa.

Affectionate regards,
Egon.

I have a lot to write to you, all of it to do with painting.
