« La lettre d'amour » (1922)
Lucien Barbut (1862-1926)
In this oil painting, three women are gathered around a table, bathed in the soft glow of a lamp. The warm hues fill the room, giving it an intimate and cozy atmosphere. One of the women, seated at the center, is reading a letter, perhaps a love letter, while the other two seem absorbed in the moment. The setting is elegant, with detailed furnishings, a mirror reflecting part of the room, and soft lighting.
Lucien Barbut, also known as Luc Barbut-Davray, was born in Nîmes and studied at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was known for his delicate interior scenes, portraits, and landscapes, and frequently exhibited his works at the Salon des Artistes Français. In addition to his paintings, Barbut was also an illustrator and engraver, contributing to numerous publications such as Le Monde artiste and Les Annales politiques et littéraires. He relocated to Ville-d'Avray after 1901 and continued producing work until his death
