The Intercepted Love Letter (painted around 1860) is one of the most famous pictures by the Munich painter Carl Spitzweg.

The painting shows a student, recognisable by his cap, the cerevis, lowering a sealed love letter on a thread to the open window of the flat below his student room. In the lower window, a young woman is seen so intensely occupied with needlework that she does not even notice the letter. However, another woman, presumably her aunt or governess, sees the letter and leaves her mouth open in astonishment.

The sand-coloured façade is richly textured, diagonal shadows show that the scene takes place in a town with narrow streets. Spitzweg has also inserted small still lifes into the picture.

Caution: not suitable for children under 36 months!
