This finished painting engages with that new aesthetic. Fragonard’s sketch has energetic brushstrokes of varying thickness that capture sunlight as it lands at the center of the canvas along the woman’s cap, powdered face, flowers, dress, and bedraggled dog. This is not a portrait, but a genre scene that implies a narrative that continues outside the frame through a letter accompanied by a bouquet. The simple conceit of love letters had been popular in the previous century with Johannes Vermeer and his contemporaries.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/436322\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - The Love Letter\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Honoré Fragonard","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49839742976243,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (32 3\/4\" x 26 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887805636851,"sku":null,"price":1425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 7\/8\" x 16\")","offer_id":49887805669619,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 3\/8\" x 19 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887805702387,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 7\/8\" x 24\")","offer_id":49887805735155,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 5\/8\" x 31 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887805767923,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 3\/8\" x 37 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887805800691,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 5\/8\" x 44\")","offer_id":49887805833459,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 1\/2\" x 52 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887805866227,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheLoveLetter.jpg?v=1785358982","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-love-letter","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
