"Man Writing a Letter" is a 1665 painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Caspar Netscher (1639–1684), known for his finely crafted genre works and portraits. This painting is a counterpart to Netscher's "Woman Reading a Letter," and together, these works explore themes of communication and the intimate moments of everyday life in the 17th century.

The painting depicts a young man, richly attired, seated at a table and engrossed in writing a letter. The setting is a private chamber, illuminated by natural light that streams through a window, a common motif in Dutch interior paintings of the period. The man's focused expression and the careful arrangement of the objects around him, such as the inkwell, sand shaker, and the seal, suggest the importance of letter writing as a cultivated activity and a means of distant social interaction.

Netscher's attention to detail is evident in the textures of the man's clothing, the polished wood of the furniture, and the softness of the quill. The use of light and shadow not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene but also contributes to the overall serene and contemplative mood of the painting.

"Man Writing a Letter" is a fine example of Netscher's genre scenes, which often depicted the quiet, refined activities of the upper-middle-class society in the Netherlands. The painting is held in a private collection, and its provenance, as well as critical interpretations, have been subjects of art historical research. This work is often discussed in the context of epistolary culture in the 17th century and the role of painting in documenting and idealizing the intellectual pursuits of the time.

As a notable work by Caspar Netscher, "Man Writing a Letter" continues to attract scholarly attention and remains an important piece for understanding the social customs and artistic achievements of the Dutch Golden Age.
