The Milkmaid, a painting by the Dutch master Vermeer, is on a rare tour to New York (nee Nieuw Amsterdam), on loan from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (Corrie and I waited in line for only twenty minutes to get in back in 2005) and showing at the Met. Here it is.
At Union Square Park the past week an actress dressed as the Milkmaid was on hand, with a large frame, and having pictures taken with passersby (for free) to show up on their website promoting Amsterdam (does that place really need promotion?) and the painting.
Here's the website...if you want to see my picture, check on Tuesday, September 15th, or just look below.
Tuesday was beautiful, warm, clear, not much else you could ever ask for for an end-of-the-summer-type day. I was out doing household stuff: getting our fuzzy little boy some food.
