In \"The Letter,\" Dewing embraces his favorite theme—a contemplative woman in a genteel environment. The work’s aesthetic quietism has many sources: the intimate interiors of the Dutch Old Master Jan Vermeer; the formal arrangements of Japanese prints; and the simplified pictorial design and limited palette of the American expatriate James McNeill Whistler. \"The Letter\" retains its elaborate original frame—designed by Dewing’s close friend, the architect Stanford White—as do the other paintings on this wall.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/10746\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - The Letter\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Wilmer Dewing","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49679573647603,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (20 1\/4\" x 16\")","offer_id":49888233455859,"sku":null,"price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 1\/8\" x 15 7\/8\")","offer_id":49888233488627,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 5\/8\" x 19 1\/2\")","offer_id":49888233521395,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 1\/8\" x 23 3\/4\")","offer_id":49888233554163,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39\" x 30 7\/8\")","offer_id":49888233586931,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 3\/4\" x 36 7\/8\")","offer_id":49888233619699,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 1\/8\" x 43 5\/8\")","offer_id":49888233652467,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (66 1\/8\" x 52 1\/8\")","offer_id":49888233685235,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheLetter_8e3f6a08-4c66-40c9-899c-cdb17dba0c58.jpg?v=1790392996","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-letter","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
