Interieur met brieflezende vrouw 1789

"Interieur met brieflezende vrouw" (Interior with a Woman Reading a Letter) is an engraving by Pieter Hendrik Jonxis, a Dutch artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The artwork depicts a woman seated on a couch, reading a letter, while a man stands in the background. The scene takes place in a richly decorated interior, highlighted by the drapery and the musical instrument, likely a guitar, in the background. The detail of the woman's posture and the man's expression suggests a narrative of surprise or intrigue. The artwork exemplifies the Rococo style, popular in the 18th century, characterized by delicate ornamentation and a focus on romantic themes.
