EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Letter Writer" we are transported back in time to witness a young woman engrossed in the art of letter writing. Leaning over a beautifully adorned table, she delicately holds her quill pen and carefully crafts her thoughts onto paper. Beside her, patiently waiting for the completion of the letter, stands a clerk or messenger, ready to deliver it on its intended journey. The scene is filled with intriguing details that add depth and character. In the foreground, a loyal dog peacefully slumbers upon a crutch, perhaps serving as both companion and protector during these solitary moments. To the left of our protagonist lies a lute, symbolizing creativity and inspiration within reach. Frans van Mieris masterfully captures this intimate moment in history through his skilled use of oil paint on panel. The soft lighting highlights every stroke and texture, bringing life to each element within the composition. This exquisite piece from Liszt Collection invites us to reflect on an era when communication was slower but more thoughtful. It reminds us of the beauty found in handwritten letters and encourages us to cherish those precious connections that transcend time and distance.
