Man reading a letter to a woman
Pieter de Hoochca. 1674-1678
The Kremer Collection
Amsterdam, Nederland
The meticulous execution and excellent condition make this one of the most attractive paintings in De Hooch's late, Amsterdam oeuvre. Man reading a letter to a woman was painted in the years 1670-74. De Hooch has here harmoniously combined a balanced composition with subtle effects of light. The interaction between the man reading the letter at the left and the central figure of the woman with a dreamy look on her face, makes this picture extraordinarily touching.
