Donna che legge una lettera — Storia e analisi

Godendo di un momento tranquillo e privato, questa giovane donna è assorbita nella lettura di una lettera alla luce del mattino. Indossa ancora la sua giacca da notte blu. Tutti i colori nella composizione sono secondari rispetto al suo radioso blu lapislazzuli.

Vermeer ha registrato gli effetti della luce con straordinaria precisione. Particolarmente innovativa è la sua resa della pelle della donna con un grigio pallido e le ombre sulla parete utilizzando un blu chiaro.
