About this work
A painted interior shows a richly dressed messenger in a blue and gold embroidered cloak standing at an open door, holding out a folded letter to a seated soldier in a wide-brimmed hat and armor. A woman in a white headdress and pink satin gown sits beside him, leaning against his arm, while a canopied bed and scattered objects fill the dim room.
