Dear Van Dyck,

I saw your picture of princess Henrietta of Lorraine and I thought it was astonishing. The person that I thought was the most interesting was Henrietta because she looked so very power full. When I looked really closely at the lady’s white flower on her dress I saw a little dagger. It was tiny and seemed harmless but it is very sharp so it can kill you. By the way why is the servant holding flowers? I really thought your picture is very interesting and beautiful. I am very amazed and impressed I can’t explain how good it is. I was very confused when I saw the boy it looks like he is worried that the lady is going to murder him with her dagger in her lovely cream white rose on her dress.
