Oh my dearest Dutchess, the music and the painting, I am swooning with joy and I am actually tearing up! You know that Vermeer is one of my favorites and this exquisite tableau is striking. Her eyes are innocent and the music....I am not familiar with it, but it is what I need at this very moment. Thank you dearest friend for your visit to my blog and for everything that you have done for me.....

Have you read "I was Vermeer" by Frank Wynne? Asbolutely riveting - it's about a forgerer of Vermeer.
