"Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window"

It isn't Woman in Blue Reading a Letter (which resides at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, which is my personal, absolute, No. 1 Favorite Museum in the World, I think)... but I only had that in black and white. Black and white will not do. So, here is a variation on the theme, scanned and added to my collection of high-resolution digital images, which in the future I will have developed on 35mm slides.


Vermeer makes me want to throw richly patterned carpets and tapestries onto my kitchen table, and leave them there, rumpled, just because.

Oh, and hey: Merry Christmas.
