Reimagined The Love Letter
Francois Clouet looked to literary sources for his composition, representing three famous figures from the Commedia dell’Arte: the procuress, the lover and the courtesan who is the object of his affections. The latter, depicted nude, is covered with a delicate, almost transparent veil and occupies the center of the composition with the old procuress holding a letter on the left and the lover on the right.
