Yes, a very famous painting by a great artist. Many experts think the girl could be Vermeer's daughter. Nicely penned poem. Good luck in the contest! Regards, Robert.

Nicely done, Barbara, and you caught two art works at once with this: painting and movie. I recorded that show a long time ago but don't think I ever got around to watching it! It has to be good with Colin Firth in it!!
