An earnest woman looks on, her arm above her head. This original painting was made with gouache on an antique German letter from 1904.

The painting, combined with the original envelope, measures approximately 10 x 12 inches. Both have been mounted in a matte black gallery frame, which is pictured here and is included in the sale. Framed, this piece measures 14 x 16 inches. A story pocket has been applied to the back of the frame, with a translation of the letter.
