Letter by Giorgio de Chirico written to Mahmud Nedim Oyvar, Bozcalı's uncle

Dear Sir, Your niece Sabiha has been working with me for about six months. I would sincerely like to state that she is very talented and possesses a great painterly intelligence. She is also very eager, and works hard with ability and patience. In brief, she possesses everything required to become a great artist. All these are very important for art, and in particular, during these times when painting is in decline in all countries, its rebirth will be possible through the work of painters like your niece. With the hope that you will take my opinion into consideration, Sir, please do accept my faithful respects.
