Girl reading a Letter at an Open Window, 1657 , Johannes Vermeernarrative:
"Upon a watchtower, sits a lady: who with letters from abroad hopes and waits to welcome the author; her husband, home"
I looked at the painting, and thought the idea that she was waiting for her husband who was abroad. The letter in the painting would be one telling her that he wont be arriving home at the initial date. She is sad and desires him home. This space acts as a place for her to watch and wait, or help guide him home, and then welcome him home when he arrives.
