The Letter of Admission, Interior of a Convent

François Bonvin

Cleveland Museum of Art

A nun stands on a small landing at the bottom of a staircase. The nun wears a long, light-colored dress and a black shawl over her shoulders. A white piece of fabric covers her head and neck. She holds a piece of paper in her left hand and rests her right hand on the banister. The landing and staircase are made of wood. The background is a wall with some darker marks on it. The artwork appears to be a drawing or sketch. The artist's signature appears in the lower-left corner.
