This seventeenth-century European woman used to stay in the kitchen. The kettle was empty, so she went to fill it up. When she finished drinking the milk, she milked it and went to the market to buy it. Every morning is almost the same, because the family has to eat every day. Time is counted by morning or by eating for her. It's time to make lunch. It's time to cook dinner. It's time to prepare a holiday meal. Day after day, she does similar things and worries about the same recipes. No one is more sensitive to the passage of time than she is, but because of this, no one is more numb to the passage of time than she is.

Vermeer is one of the greatest painters in Holland, but he has been forgotten for two centuries. Vermeer's works are mostly paintings with customs themes, which are basically based on the ordinary life of citizens. The overall picture of his paintings is warm, comfortable and quiet, giving people a solemn feeling, which fully shows the preference of Dutch citizens for clean environment and elegant and comfortable atmosphere. His artistic style is also unique. His paintings are three-dimensional, exquisite in structure and bright and harmonious in color, especially good at expressing indoor light and space. Vermeer's paintings give people a sense of reality. Besides the truth in daily life, people feel a sense of reality in their beliefs. His paintings don't have much light, but they give people a bright feeling and have profound social content. This simple emotion in his paintings has played a role in purifying people's hearts and can also alert the world.
