"Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window" is a famous 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, completed circa 1657-1659. As one of Vermeer's most celebrated works, it exemplifies the artist's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his keen interest in domestic interior scenes. The painting depicts a young woman in a moment of private contemplation, standing at an open window and reading a letter. The scene is suffused with a soft, diffused light that enters from the window, highlighting the delicate textures of the woman's clothing and the interior furnishings.

The artwork is notable for its compositional elegance and the psychological depth it suggests. Vermeer's skill in rendering the effects of light contributes to the serene and introspective atmosphere of the painting. The use of color is restrained yet rich, with a palette dominated by yellows, blues, and whites, which enhances the overall sense of tranquility.

Measuring 83 cm × 64.5 cm, the painting is housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany. Over the years, it has been the subject of extensive art historical research and has undergone several restorations. Recent discoveries during restoration efforts have revealed hidden elements in the painting that were overpainted long after Vermeer's time, including a large Cupid figure on the wall behind the girl, which significantly alters the interpretation of the painting's theme and iconography.

"Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window" is a quintessential example of Vermeer's art and of the Dutch Golden Age painting genre, offering a window into the private lives of individuals during this period. The painting continues to captivate audiences and scholars alike with its quiet beauty and the enduring mystery surrounding its narrative content.
