Rare Very Old Antique Oil Painting of Johannes Vermeer's "Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window" This is a very old oil painting believed done in the 1700 century, a reproduction of the painting done by the world famous Dutch Golden Age painter, Johannes Vermeer, whose oil painting, "Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window," sold at auction at Christie's in 1994 for a record-breaking $30,167,524 USD.

Know that a reproduction created nearly as old as the original is worth far more than one created in current times. This gorgeous piece was created and carefully kept within a family believed near the time of Johannes Vermeer. It was passed down through the ages. I acquired the elegant painting during an estate sale from a lady who shared that it was done by one of her ancestors long ago. This beautiful painting was done on wood and has the dimensions of 32.5” x 28” x 2”. The weight is 13.5 pounds. Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window, also known as Lady reading at an open window, is on display at the Gemäldegalerie in Dresden, which has held it since 1742. Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. He is considered one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age.
