Description
English: A melancholy girl holding a letter and a dove
The text on the letter held by the melancholy girl is a direct quote from the beginning of Book IV of Galatée (1783) by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–94), whose romantic tale imitates the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes' version of the story. This line follows an invocation to douce mélancolie: '...les larmes que tu fais couler sont aux ames tendres ce que la rosée est aux fleurs. Que les souvenirs que tu donnes sont attachants!'
