The Milkmaid

'The Milkmaid' -in Dutch: 'Het Melkmeisje'- is a world famous oil-on-canvas painting by Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), a Dutch painter who was specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. Throughout the years the painting has been exhibited in several countries in western Europe and the United States, and is nowadays part of the collection of the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum.

We saw this very special version of The Milkmaid painted on a wooden shoe in Garderen, last Summer.

    So I guess this would be called an oil-on-clog? :-)

    I have seen a copy of the painting in Delft and was impressed.

    Lovely wooden shoe.
    I think, that the wooden shoe seems to be the only shoe, which can be placed the painting.

    Grappig hoe de commercie ook aan de wandel gaat.
