Paolo, The Complete Paintings of Vermeer (Italy: Harry N, Inc. Publishers New York, 1967), 25
Narrative:
"Depressed woman retreated from family"
Initial Draft design
a square really confined room, no windows, isolated from a main room which is much more open, brightly light. with all the abundant light, glazed walls. it gives an atmosphere that does not want the beholder to be in that large room. its not "tamed". just like the text of QIAN Zhongshu 'window'
the long stairs connecting these room, descends. probably underground, to further protect the room, from the vicious light
