Man Handing a Letter to a Woman in the Entrance Hall of a House, 17??, Museum of the NetherlandsThe door and window of this entrance hall in an Amsterdam canal house are wide open. Daylight falls on a young woman receiving a letter. Pieter de Hooch cleverly linked the interior with the exterior. Our gaze moves past the little dog to the canal, on the opposite side of which two men converse and a woman at a window looks towards us. The gateway seen through the right window affords an even more distant view.http://hdl.handle.net/10934/RM0001.COLLECT.8771 -- source link
