Camille CLAUDEL (1864-1943). Autograph envelope [circa 1882-1885 ?]; 9.5 x 12.5 cm.
On the front of the envelope, Camille Claudel has carefully inscribed the names of her three sculptor friends: "Mesdemoiselles Jouvray/ Sigrid af Forselles et/ Camille Claudel". Like Camille Claudel, Madeleine Jouvray (1862-1935) and Sigrid af Forselles (1860-1935) were pupils of Camille's first teacher, Alfred Boucher (1850-1934), and later of Auguste Rodin. On the back is a sender's address in another hand (Boucher?): "Monsieur Migron / 27 rue Royale / Lyon".
In the front margins, Alfred BOUCHER has drawn 6 sketches in pen and black ink: two reclining men, one seated, a male bust, a kneeling figure and a group; on the back, three studies of nude women.

Provenance: Alfred Boucher.
