De briefschrijfster 1917

"De briefschrijfster" is a watercolor painting created in 1917 by Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert. The work depicts a woman seated, seemingly in a chair, writing. The composition is characterized by a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation, with the woman's focus on the task at hand. The muted colors and soft lines of the artwork create an atmospheric and introspective mood, reflective of the artist's known interest in psychological themes. Spilliaert's signature style, characterized by delicate washes of color and expressive lines, is evident in the piece.
