ROBERT DE MONTESQUIOU (Comte de Montesquiou-Fézensac, 1855-1921) französischer Schriftsteller, Symbolist, Kunstsammler und Dandy. Bekannt ist er vor allem als Vorbild für den Baron de Charlus in Marcel Prousts Romanfolge AUF DER SUCHE NACH DER VERLORENEN ZEIT. Eigenhändiger Brief (1 S. quer 4 to, gefaltet, eicht knitterspurig) in Tinte mit Ort, Datum, Unterschrift (R. de.

Paris // Toutes mes excuses, en vous priant de remettre à vendredi, par suite d'une affaire urgente. Je vous offre, en attendant, ici, la part que je prends moi-même / du regret que, j'espère, vous éprouverez. C[om]te R[obert] de M[ontesquiou]. Bien entendu, si vendredi ne vous convenait pas , faites le moi savoir. Mercredi 11h 1/2 [Übersetzung: Ich bitte um Entschuldigung und bitte Sie, den Termin aufgrund einer dringenden Angelegenheit auf Freitag zu verschieben. In der Zwischenzeit möchte ich Ihnen mein Bedauern aussprechen. Graf R[obert] de M[ontesquiou]. Sollte Ihnen Freitag nicht passen, geben Sie mir bitte Bescheid. Mittwoch, 11:30 Uhr] ( Montesquiou ließ sich von zahlreichen zeitgenössischen Künstlern porträtieren. Es wird teilweise die These vertreten, er sei auch das Vorbild für die Hauptfigur in Oscar Wildes Roman Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray (1890) gewesen. Als adliger Intellektueller und Künstler kultivierte Montesquiou eine Kombination aus Snobismus, spitzzüngiger Schlagfertigkeit und Exaltiertheit. Seine eigenen Gedichte trug er mit oratorischem Überschwang, fuchtelnd, singend, schaukelnd und mit Marionettenpuppen spielend, vor. Der Graf gewöhnte sich aber im Lauf der Zeit an seine literarische Prominenz und sagte Ende 1920, eigentlich sollte ich mich von nun an Montesproust nennen. Anlässlich der Weltausstellung Paris 1900 fand bei der internationalen Pferdeschau ein Vorführen von Reitpferden (chevaux de selle) in allen Gangarten statt, das als erster olympischer Reitconcours gilt und bei dem Montesquiou den dritten Platz gewann.
