Lady Writing a Letter (Albert Edelfelt) - Nationalmuseum - 19713

description

Summary

This small painting by Edelfelt is a reminder of the central importance of hand-written letters and the writing desk in the bourgeois household. The glass inkwell on the table is open and the woman seems to be replying to a newly-opened letter, careful not to keep the sender waiting. A technically exquisite detail is the envelope in her hand, or, more specifically, how it appears translucent in the light. Svenska: Edelfelts lilla målning påminner oss om det handskrivna brevets och om skrivplatsens betydelse i det borgerliga hemmet. På bordet står bläckhornet i glas öppet och det verkar som om kvinnan besvarar ett brev hon just öppnat, mån om att inte låta avsändaren vänta. En tekniskt utsökt detalj i bilden är kuvertet hon håller i handen, eller närmare bestämt hur det genomlyses och blir transparent.
