This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - "Letter to his sister, Marie, at La Ferte-Milon" by Jean Racine. The delicate pen and ink drawing depicts a heartfelt correspondence between the renowned playwright and his beloved sister. Marie Racine, the only sibling of Jean Racine, was not just an ordinary woman; she was married to Antoine RiviAre, a doctor and contrA'leur du grenier A sel in La Ferte-Milon. It is intriguing to note that during the 17th century, married women were addressed as Mademoiselle. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of familial love and connection. Through intricate strokes of ink on paper, Racine's emotions are palpable as he pours his thoughts onto this letter for Marie. One can almost imagine him carefully crafting each word with utmost care and tenderness. The image transports us back in time to an era where communication relied heavily on handwritten letters. It serves as a poignant reminder of how these tangible pieces of correspondence played such an essential role in maintaining relationships across distances. Displayed at Musee Jean Racine in La Ferte-Milon, France, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the personal life of one of France's most celebrated playwrights. It invites us to reflect upon our own connections with loved ones and appreciate the enduring power of written words within family bonds.
