“Young girl reading a letter with an old man” I think the original title says it all..Some of Joseph Wrights work reminds me of John Martin’s more dramatic pieces.
Modestly enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry. A slightly different coloration and larger image can be found here (last View All Sizes choice).A Girl reading a Letter, with an Old Man reading over her shoulder is, as far as I can tell, privately owned.The artist’s use of candlelight to create a chiaroscuro (where I got the word) effect is discussed here. His Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Fourth, of the 4 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.
