Interior 

This painting, likely from the 17th century, is a quintessential example of the Dutch Golden Age genre of "interior scene." Pieter de Hooch, known for his masterful portrayal of domestic life, uses light and shadow to create a sense of intimacy in the scene. The focus is on a woman reading a letter while a man stands before her, perhaps delivering it. Their muted expressions and gestures suggest a moment of quiet reflection, adding to the overall mood of tranquility. The interplay of indoor and outdoor spaces, achieved through the use of an open doorway, also enhances the sense of depth and realism, typical of de Hooch's style.
