Vermeer's Women

Regular readers may be aware of my attachment to a certain young woman. On Tuesday we were celebrating the birthday of a woman of a certain age by a visit to the FitzBillie to see paintings in the Vermeer's Women Exhibition. It's on until the 15 Jan. so get it while it's good and hot.
Herself pointed out the pictures of Gerard ter Borch. The picture of a woman at her toilet contains a satin dress painted with such skill and delicacy that, even 350 years later, it knocks your socks off. Never enough time in the day or in life!

As they say - "Fine words butter no parsnips".
