1771
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le baiser envoyé is a 1771 ink by Augustin de Saint-Aubin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting in front of a window, wearing a loose, shiny robe. She has her hair up and is holding a letter in her right hand, with her left hand touching her face. There are flowers and a pot behind her. The woman's expression is calm, and the overall mood of the painting is quiet and intimate. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, with the window in the background creating a sense of space. The artist's use of etching and engraving techniques creates a detailed and textured image. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you can explore the Romanticism movement.
