Het melkmeisje

Sent by Laura (the UK)

In fact, this isn't a cowpostcard but a milkpostcard. But I haven't opened this category yet in the blog, sorry.

The postcard was sent from the UK, though bought in the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam. There you can admire this masterpiece by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, called Het melkmeisje (='The Milkmaid'). My friend chose this postcard  for me (among thousands, I guess), due to what she called "my dairy products obsession". OMG.

    Vermeer was a very good painter, I love this painting.
    By the way, you didn't add a tag/label 'milk' (or milkpostcard) so far!?

    And... How does Laura mean, 'dairy products obsession'? I've never seen you drinking milk or eating cheese :-) And I would consider you just a "dairy producer" fan :-)

      You're absolutely right. I don't consume so many dairy products daily...

      I really needed this label...

    What a clever thought from Laura. And I have always loved that Vermeer painting.

      Me too I love it. In fact, I had received the same postcard some years ago... Before my "dairy products obsession", I mean.
