This is an amalgamation of two works by Vermeer. The „maid with milk jar“ and the „young woman reading aletter“, called „maid“ and „letter“ subsequently. Both paintings show young women in an interior space with a window on the left side, typical for Vermeer. The homage takes two stories, two perspectives so to say. The old subjects from an old master turns to a new meaning. Moreover, there is a media transfer from painting to photography is also ideally suited to Vermeer because it was in Vermeer‘s time that the artist was supposedly interested in camera obscure and optical devices were very much in development. The two subjects in the Vermeer paintings are very different. The settings is the same but different. Both Vermeer‘s interior are domestic but one is in the kitchen and the other is in the bedroom. The maid performs manual labor whereas the lady performs a rather intellectual deed, reading a letter or a note.
