Creation background
/kloc-the middle of the 0/7th century is a special period when Dutch culture and art gradually lose their original cultural characteristics. Under the emerging capitalist system in the Netherlands, society gives people more democracy and freedom, as if the spring rain revived the earth and everything woke up. This also makes art get rid of the shackles of religion and court and face secular life more widely.
In order to erect a monument for themselves and beautify their living environment, the emerging bourgeoisie and the citizen class are arty and order a large number of oil paintings. Based on this creative soil, painters no longer pay attention to the expression of major social themes, but pay more attention to the description of life details to cater to the aesthetic taste of the bourgeoisie and the citizen class.
It is in this atmosphere that the "Dutch small painting school" came into being. Vermeer is one of the representatives. The heroine in the picture is based on her eldest daughter Maria, who was only 14 years old.
