The story of The Music Lesson
The picture is one of the few Vermeer kept in his home until his death in 1675, when his family was forced to sell his paintings. It later became part of the Royal Collection.

Johannes Vermeer
Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. He is considered one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. During his lifetime, he was a moderately successful provincial genre painter, recognized in Delft and The Hague. He produced relatively few paintings, primarily earning his living as an art dealer. He was not wealthy; at his death, his wife was left in debt.
