About this work

Two women in elegant nineteenth-century dress sit closely together in a dimly lit interior, one reading a folded letter held up to the light. The richly textured fabrics, a golden gown and a blue-green skirt with a patterned green shawl, contrast against a dark background and a vase of dried grasses on a shelf. This painting, titled Pleasant Letter, is attributed to Alfred Stevens and dated 1860.
