Vermeer often depicted unknown girls in domestic spaces with a strong sense of detail. The Milkmaid shows the daily life of a Dutch citizen in the 17th century. The composition is not too complex, the outlines are clearer, and the setting is simple, giving the viewer a sense of peace and tranquility. The painting depicts a small corner of a modest kitchen with a haphazard arrangement of food on the table. With her sleeves rolled up, the maid is pouring milk into a basin, and she exudes an air of solemnity and dignity. The pale sunlight shining through the window adds a little softness to the quiet kitchen. A wicker basket and a horse lamp hang from one side of the window in the left corner. The whole scene is richly colored and softly lit, blending in with the character traits of the figures.
Such ingenious perspective, chiaroscuro, and detailed depiction give this painting a very strong texture. Vermeer poured a realistic, soft, cool light into the room, making each object appear very clear and hazy. The Milkmaid is considered one of the most important examples of the value and dignity of labor. Rather than giving this woman a beautiful face and physique, the painter gave her a robust body and an older age, making it immediately clear that this is a middle-aged woman with experience and trustworthiness. Most of Vermeer's work depicts quiet, harmonious domestic life, and he was particularly fond of painting women's figures and activities. Here he used his favorite yellows and blues, depicting the maid's clothes without stint. In the Dutch kitchens of the seventeenth century, milk and bread were the two main staples of the diet, with milk symbolizing purity and motherhood. It is said that before Vermeer passed away, his family still owed the bakery three years.
