Seville's most popular painter in the later 17th century was Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.

   While Murillo is well known for works with religious themes, he also produced a number of genre paintings of figures from contemporary life engaged in ordinary pursuits. These pictures often possess a wistful charm; Two Women at a Window is a striking example. A standing woman attempts to hide a smile with her shawl as she peeks from behind a partially opened shutter, while a younger woman leans on the windowsill, gazing out at the viewer with amusement. The difference in their ages might indicate a chaperone and her charge, a familiar duo in upper-class Spanish households. Covering one's smile or laugh was considered good etiquette among the aristocracy.

   The convincingly modeled, life-size figures, framed within an illusionistically painted window, derive from Dutch paintings that were meant to fool the eye.

　　这幅画依然是我很喜欢的风格，仅用了一扇窗便框出了拥有两个女人的美丽风景，趴着的看起来很年轻，眼神清澈单纯，似乎对外面的世界充满了想象和期待，她露肩的裙子展示着自己白皙的肌肤，打理的光滑的头发，用心的梳着发髻。头发上红色的两个精致的小发饰象征着她的活泼朝气。

　　身旁的妇人虽拿头巾遮住了面部，但是依旧可以看出她打理整齐的头发和她未能藏起来的笑容。
