In this lithograph, a child sits absorbed in a letter, the kind of quiet domestic moment that recurs throughout Pierre Bonnard's work. The print is signed in pencil by the artist and is catalogued in Roger-Marx's raisonné, a standard reference for his prints. Bonnard, a founder of the Nabis group, made his reputation painting intimate interiors bathed in warm color, and he brought the same attention to light and everyday life to his lithographs of the 1920s. The print's title, "La lettre," points to the theme of writing and reading that runs through the work.
