"A Woman Reading by a Window" is a painting by the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi, renowned for his poetic, subdued interiors and his masterful use of light. This work is a quintessential example of Hammershøi's introspective and serene aesthetic, which often features solitary figures in sparsely furnished rooms. The painting depicts a woman, seen from behind, absorbed in reading beside a window. The natural light from the window bathes the scene in a soft glow, highlighting the contours of the woman's figure and casting gentle shadows across the room.

Hammershøi's palette is typically restrained, employing a limited range of muted colors that contribute to the tranquil atmosphere of the painting. The composition is characterized by its simplicity and the harmonious balance between light and shadow, as well as the geometric forms of the interior space. The identity of the woman is not always specified, but in many of Hammershøi's works, his wife Ida is the model for such contemplative figures.

The exact date of "A Woman Reading by a Window" is not always clear, as Hammershøi created a number of similar paintings throughout his career, with variations in the pose of the figure, the arrangement of the furniture, and the quality of light. However, these works typically date from the late 19th to early 20th century, a period during which Hammershøi developed his distinctive style that has often been compared to the works of Dutch masters like Vermeer, due to the quietude and introspection evoked in his scenes.

"A Woman Reading by a Window" is emblematic of Hammershøi's oeuvre, which continues to captivate viewers with its timeless quality and its exploration of solitude, stillness, and the play of light within interior spaces. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic and emotional depth, and it contributes significantly to the understanding of Hammershøi's work and the broader context of Scandinavian art at the turn of the 20th century.
