Summary
17-year-old Griet must work to support her family, so she becomes a maid in the house of Johannes Vermeer, where she attracts the master painter's attention. Daughter of a Delft tile maker, she has a natural eye for color and design. Daily, she cleans the studio, learning much about how Vermeer sees the people he paints. As his attention focuses on her, she slowly becomes one of his subjects. In this unusual love story with the shades, sounds and textures of everyday life in Holland, Chevalier shows Griet's growing awareness of the intrigues surrounding her and the need to define the value of her life.
