1660, Johannes Vermeer, The Glass of Wine -- Gemäldegalerie (Berlin)
From the museum label: A genteel young lady empties a wine glass as a gentleman with a jug is about to refill it. In this depiction, undoubtedly identifiable to contemporary viewers as a seduction scene, Vermeer varies a common theme of Dutch genre painting. He masterfully orchestrates the light that streams through the leaded window and interacts with the objects and protagonists.
