Mujer leyendo una carta — Historia y Análisis

Disfrutando de un momento tranquilo y privado, esta joven está absorta en la lectura de una carta a la luz de la mañana. Aún lleva puesta su chaqueta de noche azul. Todos los colores de la composición son secundarios a su radiante azul lapislázuli.

Vermeer registró los efectos de la luz con una precisión extraordinaria. Particularmente innovadora es su representación de la piel de la mujer con un gris pálido y las sombras en la pared utilizando un azul claro.
