Discover the story about Johannes Vermeer's

The Lady and Servant was painted around 1667–1668 in Delft, the Netherlands.

Vermeer created this work to depict an intimate domestic scene, focusing on quiet communication between a lady and her servant, a theme he often used to explore everyday life and subtle human interaction.

It is made with oil on canvas, using delicate brushwork, soft light, and careful composition to create a calm, realistic atmosphere.

Today, the painting is part of the collection of the Frick Collection in New York City, USA.
