"Le Baiser envoyé" (The Kiss Sent), also known as "A Lady en déshabillé Holding a Letter at a Window," is a notable painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805). Greuze, who was renowned for his genre scenes and portraiture, often depicted the moralistic and sentimental themes of the everyday life of the French bourgeoisie. This painting is a fine example of his work, showcasing his ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and the subtleties of social interaction.

The painting portrays a young woman in a state of déshabillé, a term that refers to a state of undress or informal attire, which in the 18th century often suggested intimacy and a relaxed private life. She is depicted in a domestic interior, near a window, holding a letter. The act of sending a kiss, as suggested by the title, implies a moment of affectionate communication, possibly with a lover. The woman's expression and the intimate setting suggest a narrative of romance, longing, or possibly even secret correspondence, which was a popular subject in the art and literature of the period.

Greuze's work is characterized by a focus on the moral and emotional life of his subjects. "Le Baiser envoyé" is emblematic of his style, which combines a Rococo sensibility with a more domestic and sentimental subject matter that anticipated the emerging genre of domestic realism. The painting is a testament to Greuze's skill in rendering texture and detail, from the softness of the woman's skin to the play of light on her attire and the letter she holds.

The exact date of creation for "Le Baiser envoyé" is not well-documented, and the painting's provenance and current location are not widely known, which may pose challenges to its comprehensive scholarly analysis. Nonetheless, it remains an important work within Greuze's oeuvre, reflecting the cultural and artistic preoccupations of 18th-century France and offering insight into the era's social customs and gender dynamics.
