Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 18.3 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 20.7 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 34.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Vermeer's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 90.2 × 78.7 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Frick Collection, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Ah, the elegant yet enigmatic world of Vermeer! In 'Mistress and Maid,' circa 1666/67, we witness a moment suspended in time, capturing the everyday intimacy between two women. The painting, housed in the illustrious Frick Collection in New York, speaks volumes about the subtleties of human interaction and the silent undercurrents of domestic life in the 17th century.

Vermeer, ever the master of light and shadow, bathes the scene in a gentle, diffused glow. The mistress, adorned in a sumptuous yellow morning jacket trimmed with ermine, is seated at a table. Her hand rests lightly on a letter, the object of silent contemplation. Her expression is one of quiet introspection, as if the contents of the letter have transported her to another realm of thought.

Standing beside her, the maid proffers another letter, her gaze directed towards her mistress with a blend of deference and curiosity. The contrast between their attires is stark yet harmonious – the maid's plain brown dress underscores the social hierarchy yet does not diminish her presence in the tableau.

Vermeer's use of texture is sublime; the sheen of the tablecloth, the delicate lace of the mistress’s collar, and the rich wood of the table and box all contribute to the painting’s tactile quality. The composition is anchored by the interplay of light and dark, guiding our eyes across the scene in a dance of visual delight.

'The Mistress and Maid' is not just a glimpse into a past domestic scene; it’s a masterclass in storytelling through restraint and suggestion, a testament to Vermeer’s unparalleled ability to capture the profound within the ordinary.
