books0977:Der Liebesbrief (1875). Hans Makart (Austrian, 1840-1884). Oil on panel. Makart was one of the most popular artists of belle époque Vienna, whose large and richly decorated studio became a focal point of Viennese society in the 1870s and 1880s. He struggled to keep up with demand for his portraits and figure paintings. Like this work, these paintings were notable for their free brushwork and strong sense of colour, which translated into glamour and confidence. -- source link
