In one of the two rectangular canvases, the shepherdess read the letter to her confidante, and the other showed the meeting of the lovers.Diderot, a harsh critic of Boucher, praised the four paintings as "a charming little poem," but he condemned the falsity of the genre, comparing it to country life as represented in French opera.
