Lately, while I visited our local museum and its huge collection of
historical music instruments, I did spot a virginals made by the Flemish
manufacturer Ruckers ca. 1610.
This virginals did indeed look close to the one seen in the Vermeer
painting "The Music Lesson" and so I started to rebuild it and to update
my scene from 2002 (some of you might even remember):

"PARTHENIA or The Maidenhead" was a popular collection of tunes for the
virginals (a kind of "best of" or "hit list" from the early 17th
century) and might very well have found its way to Delft. And it also
includes my favorite renaissance composition: "The Earl of Salisbury,
Pavane & Galliard" by William Byrd.

Impressive! I can't really place the wooden part on the
lower left though, is it part of a seat? Also, I'm a bit
distracted by the surroundings: especially the rough back
wall that doesn't seem to fit with the floor and the
smooth wall with the intricate window.

Impressive modelling, texturing and lighting!
(Upon very, /very/ close inspection, the upper window's lead framing
look flawed though, you might want to have a look at that)

It is one of Vermeers lion head chairs. See image below.

For the left wall, well, I did forget to enable the hight_field for it
and the floor is not a marble floor but just stone and I think the back
wall and floor together do come pretty close to Vermeers paintings.

The reference to Delft is because Vermeer lived there ;)
The museum is the "Germanisches Nationalmuseum" in Nuremberg.
It has a really impressive collection from medieval to baroque

Thanks, but credit for the lighting goes to the used render engine
called POV-Ray ;)

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean. There are a few radiosity artifacts
between the frame and the wall. Is it that?
A higher 'count' value should help and with a render time of about 2h it
was pretty fast - especially when I remember a low quality render did
last days 9 years ago.
But I attempt to rework the wooden frame anyway to give it a more
weathered look (isosurfaces should work well for this) so there is a
good chance that render time will increase dramatically.
Did I already mention that I feel that something is wrong when a
raytracer does finish its job too quickly ;)
