Description: | Signed: yes Description: One of a pair, this painting shows two fashionable young men at a table in a lowly inn. One of the men reads from a letter and gestures to his companion, who listens intently. Typical of the nineteenth-century Belgian artist Louis A. Dubois (1830-1880), this painting is set in the mid-eighteenth century, adding a sense of nostalgia to this decorative conversation piece. The retrospective appearance of the sitters and the familiar composition of two people in conversation, seen at either end of a table, makes the picture seem to a modern viewer like an illustration from a novel or a play. | Subjects: | figure; everyday life; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dubois, Louis A.
