A Lady Writing a Letter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Lady Writing a Letter (also known as A Lady Writing; Dutch: Schrijvend meisje) is a painting attributed to 17th century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. Believed to be painted c. 1665, it is currently owned by the Washington D.C. National Gallery of Art.
The painting gained recent prominence thanks to its central role in the plot of the Blue Balliett children's book Chasing Vermeer. In the book two kids are striving to find the mystery of the missing piece of art.
