This exhibit presents an installation of Johannes Vermeer's 'A Lady Writing,'a remarkable painting, on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington. The painting depicts a young woman, sitting at a desk, wearing a fur-trimmed yellow morning jacket. Her slight smile and open expression draw the viewer into the picture. As with his other paintings, Vermeer has transformed the depiction of everyday activities into a compelling and captivating scene.
