The Milkmaid by Johannes Vermeer, 1660
They say she's technically a kitchen maid, not a dairy worker — the milk here is just breakfast, not her job. It's been called one of the finest paintings of everyday life there is, though I'm never sure who gets to decide that.
Erisava: I like that this is just a maid pouring milk, not someone rich or famous. What's your take?
