Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window is an oil painting by Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer. Completed in approximately 1657–1659 the well-preserved painting is on display at the Gemäldegalerie in Dresden. For many years the attribution of the painting—which features a young Dutch woman reading a letter before an open window—was lost with first Rembrandt and then Pieter de Hooch being credited for the work before it was properly identified in 1880.
