Description

It depicts a woman, seated in a arcade, with a book on her lap, who receives a letter, delivered by a boy, presumed addressed to her by a love interest. A vase with some flowers stands in front of her, most likely as a symbolic reference. The arcade shows a Palladian villa. This painting is believed to be a complement to another, depicting a man writing a letter, now held in the Musée Condé, in Chantilly.[2]
