A woman standing at a window is a familiar but enigmatic art motif. Sometimes it indicates a woman on display, hinting at “romantic possibility”. Other times it indicates capture – either imprisonment or someone trapped by economic circumstances. Such scenes go back aeons but how we perceive them has changed. And that, it seems, is the point of a London exhibition – to give a window onto “several things: one is these women, but another is you.”
