Love's Messenger (1885) by Marie Spartali Stillman (UK, 1844-1927). A dove carries a love letter to a woman standing in front of an open window. She wears a red rose & has just put down her embroidery of a blind-folded Cupid.

My second sketchbook from 2016. It's a much smaller one from Stillmann & Birn but it was so useful ♡. Looking back I can see all the mistakes I did but also the improvement! It such a great and nostalgic feeling to flip trough my sketchbooks just like a diary!
