Walter Liedtke, organizer of the exhibition, will discuss the painting’s place in Vermeer’s early work and its subject’s surprising significance. The lecture begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Museum's Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium.
This lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Vermeer’s Masterpiece “The Milkmaid,” on view now through November 29.
