Pinacoteca Stuard

Pinacoteca Stuard
Parma, Italy

The painting depicts a family caught on the delivery of an inauspicious news communicated through the letter dropped on the floor. The scene takes place in a bedroom: the mother is standing with her hands on her face, the desperate daughter slumped on the bed, and the crying son sitting on a stool at the foot of the bed.
