Jan Vermeer Milkmaid 3D Lenticular Bookmark Johannes or Jan Vermeer was a Dutch Baroque painter who specialized in exquisite, domestic interior scenes of ordinary life. It is not certain where Vermeer was apprenticed as a painter, nor with whom. It is generally believed that he studied in his hometown and it is suggested that his teacher was either Carel Fabritius or more likely Leonaert Bramer. It is possible he taught himself or had information from one of his father's connections. With quiet concentration a woman pours milk into a bowl in this 1658 painting. With her left hand she supports the can she is pouring from. Around her are various objects: a loaf of bread, a stoneware jug, a basket and a brass bucket. The woman is standing near the window so she can see what she is doing. The light falls on her hands; her silhouette is dark against the white wall. There is a fascinating play of light and shadow in this painting. This is one of Johannes Vermeer's genre pieces in which he establishes an intensely intimate atmosphere. Although the artist observes his model from nearby, she continues with her work, totally unperturbed. It's a practical, beautiful bookmark with superb 3D depth. Being made of plastic makes it durable and long lasting. A memorable and thoughtful gift to give. Each one measures 1-3/4" across wide and 3-1/3" tall.
