"The Letter" is a painting by the Scottish artist John Faed, completed in 1855. This work is an example of genre painting, a style that depicts scenes of everyday life, often with a narrative element. Faed's painting captures a moment of intimate human connection through the act of letter reading, which was a significant form of communication during the 19th century.

In "The Letter," Faed illustrates a young woman absorbed in reading a letter, with the contents of the message left to the viewer's imagination. The painting is rich in detail and emotion, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with sentimentality and domestic life. The subject's expression and the letter's apparent impact on her suggest a story that resonates with the viewer, inviting speculation about the nature of the news received—be it joyful, sorrowful, or somewhere in between.

John Faed (1819–1902) was a prominent figure in the Scottish art scene, known for his historical and literary scenes as well as his genre paintings. "The Letter" is characteristic of his work, with its fine detail, warm tones, and evocative portrayal of its subject. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries, contributing to Faed's reputation as a skilled painter of the human experience.

As a piece that exemplifies Faed's artistic talents and the Victorian era's cultural themes, "The Letter" remains an important work for both its aesthetic qualities and its historical significance in the context of 19th-century art. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its ability to capture a timeless and deeply personal moment, reflecting the universal experience of receiving news from afar.
