A long letter discussing a talk to the Guld on India art in relation to Chinese and Japanese art. Sir William Rothenstein 1872 - 1945 was an English painter, printmaker, draughtsman, le…cturer, and writer on art.

The Tate Gallery also holds a large collection of his paintings, prints and drawings. Rothenstein served as Principal at the Royal College of Art from 1920 to 1935. He was knighted in 1931 for his services to art. Size is 180mm x 114mm. Condition is good. Light folding creases. Light gum marks and surface loss to top edge slightly effecting the text.
