A woman in a blue jacket stands absorbed in a letter, lit from an unseen window, before a large map of Holland. No corner, floor or ceiling is visible, only wall, chairs and table, so all attention falls on her stillness. Whether her full figure signals pregnancy or fashion is debated, and the letter's writer is left to us.
