About "Vermeer: The Milkmaid"

by Ton de Zwart

About the artwork

In 2014, years before the Vermeer boom, I made a study of the painting "The Milkmaid".
As recently shown in the documentary on Vermeer, his studio, lighting plan and working methods are good to study.

In my photo studio, I had built the set. Two walls, plaster stucco with an antique window in them.
Details, like the nail in the wall, the plinth of Delftware tiles, the baskets, everything had to be right.
I could rent the costume, which had been commissioned by a museum. The jug was Moroccan pottery, the bread from AH, the stove bought from an antique dealer in Delft.
Behind the frosted glass window I had placed a studio flash.

I had chosen the model because of her resemblance to the original. She was not Dutch but ... Russian. Her name was Varya, who was visiting her sister, an acquaintance of mine. When I saw her I knew: I must have her.
To my mind, everything is right in the picture.

The photo was printed large and framed.
Costume: Gerritsen Theaterkostuums, Amsterdam
Make-up and dressers: Anna and Elvie
Finishing: Kleurgamma, Amsterdam
Frame: De Lijstmakers, Amsterdam, museum glass

The original photograph was exhibited by my agent in 2015 in

- Raddisson Blu, Beijing, China, 2015 oct 1 / dec 15,
