This painting, which shows Caspar David  Friedrich’s wife Caroline leaning out the window of his sparsely  furnished atelier overlooking the Elbe River in Dresden, is at once  highly unusual and absolutely exemplary in his oeuvre. It is unusual  because, despite sharing his friend Kersting’s great admiration for  17th-century Northern painting, Friedrich never painted the domestic  interior scenes that were so popular both during the Dutch Golden Age  and the German Biedermeier period.
Even in this unique example of the genre,  however, Friedrich’s portrayal exhibits all the hallmarks of his style:  the strict geometry of the composition (the vertical line of the  window-pane even matches up exactly with the joint between the two  central floor boards); the use of a Rückenfigur [a figure seen entirely from the back] placed squarely in the middle of the painting, as if to block our own view..............and, of course, the inescapable, overwhelming  sense that this picture, for all its realism, is trying very hard to  tell us something about the spiritual, rather than the visible world.

“Donna alla finestra”: La figura di donna al centro del quadro è Caroline, la moglie dell’artista che guarda fuori dalla finestra dello studio di Friedrich a Dresda. La donna da le spalle allo spettatore, guarda fuori  dalla finestra con vista sul fiume Elba. Si possono scorgere gli alberi  delle barche e un cielo azzurro.
L’artista porta qui il suo lato romantico: i tratti  della moglie e dello studio passano in secondo piano – ci mettiamo anche  noi spettatori a guardare oltre – a sbirciare da quella finestra verso  un un mondo sconfinato – un’aldilà da esplorare.
