The way the light falls in that room makes it look..... quiet.

How does it do that?

Love, not like. We saw a wonderful Hammershøi exhibition in Paris a few years ago but I get what you mean about chilly — or spare. This painting is perfect.

I too love paintings of interior spaces. I read your piece first & then listened while looking at the painting which was a lovely thing to do. Feel all warm & smiley. Thank you
