About the piece
Painted in 1865 by John Callcott Horsley, this oil on canvas captures an intimate moment of domestic anticipation. A young woman, surrounded by luxurious textiles and accompanied by a small spaniel, contemplates a letter on the morning of St. Valentine's Day. Horsley's masterful technique is evident in the rich textures of the velvet, lace, and wood, creating a quintessential example of 19th-century British genre painting.
