To be more accurate, L is for "lukea" which, in Finnish, means to read.
It is an illustration by Martta Wendelin (1893-1986), an artist from Finland who created postcards, magazine covers, and illustrated fairy tales. Her themes tended to be nostalgic and charming, a little romantic.
I like the illustration actually, though I wish I knew how to pronounce the Finnish word! ;) <3
