The story behind the motif
Canvas with a painting by the internationally known Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt from 1887 and the realism movement. The painting shows the importance of the handwritten letter and the writing place in the bourgeois home. On the table, the glass inkhorn is open and it seems as if the woman is answering a letter she has just opened, taking care not to keep the sender waiting. A technically exquisite detail in the image is the envelope she is holding in her hand, or more precisely how it is illuminated and becomes transparent.
Artist: Albert Edelfelt | Created: 1887.
Frame not included.
