"The Break Up Letter" (French: "La Lettre Déchirée") is an 1867 painting by the Belgian artist Alfred Stevens, who was known for his depictions of elegant modern women from the Parisian bourgeoisie. This work is a fine example of Stevens's genre paintings, which often explore themes of love, loss, and the private lives of women, set against the backdrop of the opulent interiors of the Second French Empire.

The painting portrays a young woman in a moment of emotional turmoil, having just received a letter that has visibly distressed her. The precise contents of the letter are left to the viewer's imagination, but the title suggests a romantic rejection or the end of a relationship. The subject is depicted in a richly furnished room, indicative of her social status, and the attention to detail in the textures of her clothing and the surrounding objects underscores Stevens's skill in rendering different materials.

Stevens's work is characterized by a keen observation of contemporary life and a subtle commentary on the roles and expectations of women in society. "The Break Up Letter" is emblematic of his approach, capturing a private moment with psychological depth and a nuanced interplay of colors and light. The painting invites contemplation on the nature of personal correspondence and the impact of such intimate communications on the lives of individuals, particularly women, during the 19th century.

"The Break Up Letter" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the social dynamics of its time. It is a significant work within Alfred Stevens's oeuvre and continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its reflection of the societal norms of the era.
