The Visit (detail)

Hints that Jan Vermeer influenced De Hooch in The Visit may be detected in the reflection of the woman's head and red jacket in the window glass to the left (which recalls the window in Vermeer's Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window) and in the highlighted red jacket itself, which together with the woman in a yellow jacket and white scarf remind one of the two figures diagonally juxtaposed in the Officer with a Laughing Girl.
