dc.description | Detail, figures of women doing chores; This painting of a quiet street with a few figures occupies an exceptional place in Vermeer’s oeuvre. Straight angles give the composition balance, while the triangle of the sky introduces a sense of dynamism. The old walls, coarse bricks, and white plasterwork are almost palpable. Vermeer nonetheless took some liberties with reality, such as the oversized green shutters. Source: Rijksmuseum [website]; www.rijksmuseum.nl/en (accessed 7/13/2014) | en_US |
