30th May

Dear Mr. [Schiele]!
Thank you kindly
for your invitation to see
your exhibition of drawings
which I immediately
accepted. The show
includes many, very
interesting, great

works –
Now I am waiting
to hear from you
when your studio
will contain several,
now possibly figural
works so that
I may finally not
be too late and may be
able to fulfill my wish

to purchase an
oil painting
by you.
In the hope that we
may soon talk,
I send my
best regards,
Irene Beran.
Brno.
