Belgian portraitist and aristocratic genre artist Gustave Léonard de Jonghe, son of landscapist Jan Baptiste de Jonghe, studied under his father and at the Royal Academy. De Jonghe divided his time between Paris and Brussels, producing depictions of the fashionable in opulent interior scenes. This interesting painting has one figure looking at the viewer, the other reading a letter.
