From the archives: An illustration I made inspired by love letters from an Anthology. This one depicts Ninon de l'Enclos who had written the Marquis de Sévigné a letter, where she breaks off they romance.

I have the idea to restart making drawings based on those love letters. Keep you posted.

Made in Talens ecoline and black Chinese ink.

An illustration made with Talens ecoline and black, Chinese ink. A woman is sitting in a green, with a rose pattern, fauteuil. She is looking rather arrogant at a man who stands next to her with a letter in his hand. They are both from the 18th century, thus wearing mid-18th century clothes. Her clothes are hues of green and yellow, his are red in the middle and otherwise only drawn in ink lines. She holds up her hand at him. She has broken off their romance in a letter. He looks distraught. They are Ninon de l'Enclos to the Marquis de Sévigné.

"Elegant Lady Writing at Her Desk," Gabriël Metsu, 1662-64.

Metsu (1629-1667) was a noted Dutch painter of history scenes and genre scenes, most bits of everyday life. Most of his female subjects had faces based on his wife's...this one, however, does not.

The subject (who is unknown) is meant to be a woman of wealth, judging by the fur trim of her outfit. She looks smiling up at us but she could be happy in writing to a loved one. The bed in the background, and the dog (frequently a symbol of fidelity) hint that it's a love letter.

From the Leiden Collection, New York.

A Dutch Golden Age painting. A richly dressed woman sits at a table, writing a letter. She has a brown skirt and a jacket or top that is trimmed with fur and has a hood. She is turning to the viewer and smiling. She holds a quill pen in her hand, in the act of dipping it in the inkwell; the desk or table is covered with a richly pattered red cloth. She sits in a spindle-backed chair and in the background a curtained bed can be seen. A brown-and-white dog, in the lower right corner, looks up at her inquisitively.
