"Woman Reading a Letter" is a renowned 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Gerard ter Borch, created between 1660 and 1662. This genre painting, which is part of the Golden Age of Dutch painting, is celebrated for its intimate portrayal of a young woman absorbed in reading a letter. The work is a quintessential example of ter Borch's mastery in capturing the subtleties of private moments and the textures of luxurious fabrics.

The painting depicts a woman standing by a table, dressed in a satin gown that exemplifies ter Borch's skill in rendering the play of light on the sumptuous material. The woman's downcast eyes and the quiet stillness of the scene suggest a moment of personal reflection, a theme common in Dutch interior genre scenes of the period. The letter she holds is a recurring motif in Dutch painting, often alluding to love, news from afar, or other personal matters, and it serves to engage the viewer's curiosity about the narrative behind the image.

Gerard ter Borch's attention to detail, from the intricate lacework to the delicate handling of color and light, imbues the painting with a sense of realism and psychological depth. The artwork is a testament to the artist's ability to convey complex emotions and social interactions through his paintings, making him one of the most important genre painters of his time.

"Woman Reading a Letter" is held in high esteem by art historians and is often discussed in the context of ter Borch's oeuvre and the broader genre of epistolary-themed paintings in Dutch art. The painting is part of a significant collection in a notable museum, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
