It is one of numerous studio copies made of The Love Letter (National Gallery of Art, Washington), which he painted for Louis XV’s mistress, Madame de Pompadour, in 1750. The format of the Washington painting is almost vertical, but this copy is horizontal. As a result, the composition has been reduced at the top and bottom and has additions at both sides. These include the base of a column on the right-hand side and the young boy leaning on a gate on the left of the picture. Variations in painting quality suggest that several people in Boucher’s large studio may have worked on this copy.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/studio-of-francois-boucher-the-billet-doux\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Billet Doux\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio of Francois Boucher","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":44294559563889,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (37 1\/2\" x 50\")","offer_id":44294559596657,"sku":null,"price":2906.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 1\/2\" x 20 5\/8\")","offer_id":44294559629425,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19\" x 25 3\/8\")","offer_id":44294559662193,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (23 1\/4\" x 31\")","offer_id":44294559694961,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (30\" x 40 1\/8\")","offer_id":44294559727729,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (36\" x 48\")","offer_id":44294559760497,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (42 3\/8\" x 56 5\/8\")","offer_id":44294559793265,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (50 7\/8\" x 67 7\/8\")","offer_id":44294559826033,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/3934\/0401\/files\/TheBillet-Doux.jpg?v=1787542658","url":"https:\/\/mastermuseumreplicas.com\/products\/the-billet-doux-ngal1654","provider":"Master Museum Replicas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
