Document content
Richard Mortensen writes to Sonja Ferlov Mancoba about a number of works from the Linien period, which he has handed over to Danish museums, including portraits of her and works by her. He also describes how he has had Ejler Bille's original plaster of Spadserende form restored, which was broken when it was cast in bronze. He writes that a young art historian is writing a book about his youth and thus also about her. In conclusion, he writes that he could not see the film that was made about her.
