The History of Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window

For many years, the attribution of Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window was lost, with first Rembrandt and then Peter de Hooch being credited for the work. It wasn't until 1880 that the painting was properly identified as a Vermeer.

In 1742, Augustus III of Poland, Elector of Saxony, purchased the painting under the mistaken belief that it was a Rembrandt. Today, Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window is considered one of Vermeer's most important works and is highly valued by art collectors and enthusiasts alike.
