The girls in the window by Bartolome Esteban Murillo

In this lively coupling, similar to a snapshot, Murillo showed himself attentive and – perhaps more importantly – able to rejoice at a small observer. Before us are two very young girls.

One of them looks out of the window. Her face is marked by snooty and some embarrassment. The second one, unable to cope with the laughter that makes it out, which is happening, in all likelihood, simply from the young joy of life, is covered with a handkerchief.
