"Woman Waxing a Letter" is an 18th-century engraving by the French artist Étienne Fessard. Born in 1714, Fessard was known for his skill as an engraver and etcher, contributing to the rich artistic culture of the Rococo period in France. The artwork depicts an intimate scene of a woman sealing a letter with wax, a common practice of the time for ensuring the privacy of correspondence.

The engraving is notable for its fine detail and the delicate portrayal of the woman's focused expression as she completes the task. The scene captures a moment of everyday life, yet it is imbued with a sense of elegance and quietude that is characteristic of Fessard's work. The use of light and shadow in the composition highlights the woman's actions and the textures of her surroundings, showcasing Fessard's mastery of the medium.

"Woman Waxing a Letter" reflects the broader cultural practices of the 18th century, where letter writing was an essential form of communication, and the art of sealing letters was both a practical and symbolic act. The engraving may also be interpreted as a commentary on the private and public spheres of life during the Rococo period, particularly in relation to the roles and activities of women.

As an example of Étienne Fessard's oeuvre, "Woman Waxing a Letter" contributes to the understanding of the artistic and social contexts of the time. It remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who study the Rococo period and the evolution of engraving as an art form.
