Le Billet Doux, or The Love Letter, is an 18th-century painting by Swedish artist Niclas Lafrensen the Younger, also known as Nicolas Lavreince. This Rococo artwork, created in the 1770s or 1780s, is renowned for its intricate detail and vibrant depiction of intimate, aristocratic life. The painting portrays a young woman in an opulent interior, receiving a love letter from a servant, which suggests a narrative of secret romance typical of Rococo themes that emphasize light-heartedness, gallantry, and the flirtatious interplay of the elite.

Lafrensen, who was born in Stockholm in 1737 and later moved to Paris, became a prominent artist in the French court. His works often reflect the frivolous and ornamental style of the Rococo movement, with Le Billet Doux being a quintessential example. The painting captures the delicate, pastel tones and the soft, flowing lines that are characteristic of the period, while also showcasing Lafrensen's skill in depicting fabrics and textures, from the lush draperies to the intricate lace and silk worn by the figures.

Le Billet Doux not only illustrates Lafrensen's artistic prowess but also serves as a cultural artifact that offers insights into the social dynamics and the private lives of the French aristocracy before the French Revolution. This piece remains significant in the study of European art history, particularly in understanding the nuances of Rococo art and its role in reflecting and influencing the social mores of its time.
