Vermeer’s Love Letters

Access to the exhibition begins June 18 at 1:00 p.m.
The unprecedented installation of paintings united in the exhibition Vermeer’s Love Letters pairs the Frick’s Mistress and Maid with special loans of the Rijksmuseum’s Love Letter and the National Gallery of Ireland’s Woman Writing a Letter with Her Maid. Their presentation together in a single gallery for the first time offers visitors an opportunity to consider Vermeer’s treatment of the theme of letters as well as his depiction of women of different social classes.
This exhibition is generously funded by the Jasmine Charity Trust in memory of Regina Jaglom Wachter.
This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
