windowlight
Glass-filtered sun rays
Windowlight is the natural light that enters through a window, often valued for its soft, diffused quality.
Photographers and painters prize windowlight for portraits and still lifes: She positioned the subject near the windowlight.
The term also refers to the window itself in older or regional usage, particularly the glass pane.
