1657 CE
Almost all of Vermeer's paintings after his own The Procuress are of contemporary subjects in a smaller format, with a cooler palette dominated by blues, yellows and grays.
It is to this period that practically all of his surviving works belong.
They are usually domestic interiors with one or two figures lit by a window on the left.
They are characterized by a serene sense of compositional balance and spatial order, unified by a pearly light.
