1658 (ca.), Gerard ter Borch, The Rejected Letter -- Alte Pinakothek, Munich
From the museum label: The writing, receiving, and reading of letters - mostly amorous - was a popular motif in Dutch genre painting. That the lady virtuously declines to accept this letter is revealed by the washbowl, jug, brush, and comb, which stand for cleanliness and purity.
