I have also thought about Frans Hals - and well, I'm not from the low
lands, but nevertheless I do know some of your famous artists ;-)

Hmm, I'm currently working on an "Italian Room" and the main reason
for doing the Vermeer copy was to have something simple to play with
the radiosity settings for an indoor scene - but also does render fairly fast
(at least for a preview without AA).
But there is a funny detail in the Vermeer painting: the womans face,
as reflected in the mirror does not match to the direction she looks, the
reflected one looks much more to the right. I'm sure this is intended by
Vermeer and I think this could be simulated by the use of the no_image
and no_reflection keywords with POV. To reproduce this should be some
fun and maybe I will give it a try some day.
