Girl Reading Letter..........

What I like most about this picture is the warmth of the colors. I enjoy the girl facing the window, even though she is reading a letter and not looking outside. You are unable to determine what type of letter she is reading because you are not able to see the expressions on her face. I would like to believe it is a love letter or written to her by someone who loves her.

Hmmm.......

This is actually harder than I thought. What little I have read about Vermeer is bits and pieces people have put together. I believe he was a man who suffered from depression and died at a fairly young age. He only painted 35 pictures in his career.
