The title of a famous work by Vermeer, of which Proust said: ‘It’s the most beautiful painting in the world’, lends its name to this section of Electra. José Manuel dos Santos addresses this work (View of Delft), the city that is represented in it (Delft) and the city where it can be seen (The Hague), in an evocation where the title of the text and the title of the section borrow from each other to become the same.
