Charles VII Writing a Farewell Letter to His Wife is a 1810 unspecified by François Fleury-Richard, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting depicts a man in medieval attire, kneeling on the floor with a quill in his hand. He is dressed in a blue and black robe adorned with gold crosses, and he wears a sword at his side. The man is intently focused on writing a letter on a piece of parchment that lies before him. In the background, a window with a decorative blue and yellow border is visible, offering a glimpse of the outdoors. The room is dimly lit, with the only light source coming from the window. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
