An etching by Robert Delaunay, titled 'While you are in your right mind, read this letter', depicts an interior scene with two figures in a decorative frame, rendered in fine lines.
This etching presents an interior scene with two figures, framed by a decorative border. The composition, rendered in fine lines, depicts a man seated at a table, holding a letter, while another man stands beside him, gesturing towards a pair of candlesticks. The room is sparsely furnished, with a bed visible in the background, draped with a canopy. The scene is enclosed within a rectangular frame, adorned with simple linear patterns. Below the image, a French inscription reads, 'A present que vous êtes raisonnable, lisez cette Lettre.' The print is signed 'C.P. Marillier del.' and 'R.Delaunay le jeune'. The style of the etching suggests a date in the late 18th century, reflecting the aesthetic conventions of the period. The attention to detail in the figures' costumes and the interior setting is typical of the era's focus on realism and narrative. The use of etching as a medium allows for precise lines and subtle tonal variations, enhancing the overall visual impact of the scene. The print offers a glimpse into the social customs and domestic life of the time, inviting viewers to consider the story unfolding within the frame.

Received the beautiful hummingbird print in black frame. Great service, stunning print, I will post a picture when the room is finished. Thank you
Delighted with this print! The colours are extremely vibrant, the imagine crystal clear and beautifully displayed in an attractive frame. Delivery was prompt and securely packaged. Highly recommended and will be using again!
So pleased with my print and the frame it’s housed in. Fantastic quality and really adds character to the room. Communication was great and it was delivered quicker than estimated. Overall I’m extremely pleased and will recommend to friends. I’m already eying up my next purchase!
Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
