The subject is not a pleasant one, but it is treated by a master, and there is much underlying thought in this suggestive dis- position of colours. The smoky background is ap- propriate, and no criticism can be offered regarding the technique.

No one so far as I know has given Vermeer credit f...or suggesting this elemental conception, but it seems to be a justi- fiable interpretation of the colour scheme, which is so unusual for this painter. The picture is over four feet square. As is fitting for so large a canvas, the treatment is broader than in most of Vermeer's work, and the sharp red and yellow, harmonious in spite of their primitive rawness, are laid in broad, daring masses. Instead of beginning by painting small pictures, and gradually branching out into a larger size, Ver- meer began by treating his subjects on a large scale, and refining his handling afterward, so that he never, even in his tiniest cabinet pieces, lost a certain breadth of feeling which makes his pictures power- ful in spite of their minuteness.
