"Woman Reading a Letter" is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steen, who is renowned for his lively and often humorous depictions of everyday life in the 17th century. This particular work, dating from around 1663, is a fine example of Steen's skill in portraying domestic scenes infused with a narrative quality. The painting features a young woman absorbed in reading a letter, with the contents of the missive left to the viewer's imagination. The scene is set in a well-appointed interior, which reflects the tastes and material culture of the Dutch middle class of the period.

Steen's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail, enhances the intimacy of the moment and invites speculation about the letter's sender and its possible romantic or secretive nature. The woman's attire and the furnishings within the room are rendered with meticulous care, providing insights into the fashions and domestic environments of the time. As with many of Steen's works, there is an element of moralizing, with the painting possibly serving as a commentary on the virtues or vices associated with private correspondence.

"Woman Reading a Letter" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its capacity to engage viewers in the narrative and emotional life of its subject. The painting is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance. Through works like this, Jan Steen remains a vital figure in the study of Dutch genre painting, offering a window into the society and culture of his time.
