Probably is refering to how the horizontal leading 'bumps' out at the vertical
leading.  It looks like it was intended to be that way, however you may want to
make it a little smaller in size.  From the perspective of the render, it looks
like it is not in-line with the verticals.

A truly excellent job. Impressive scene indeed.

I love that music above all.

Ah, interesting as this would have never occurred to me as odd. Actually 
there *is* an additional horizontal bar in front of the glass leading 
that is meant for some lace to be attached to it.
But Vermeer did remove the lace (and so did I) to have a bit more light 
that falls through the window.
But I do agree, this looks a bit odd for the given perspective and 
actually the lace-bars should be a tiny bit farer away and also not that 
perfectly aligned with the lead, even a bit random.
Thanks and I'll keep this in mind.

Thank you, Thomas.

Just curious, renaissance music in general, the Elizabethan school (John 
Dowland, William Kemp, William Byrd etc.) or especially William Byrd?

No, no - I mean the (presumably leaden) stripes between the individual 
glass tiles; where these stripes meet, there are some bumps that don't 
seem to make sense to me - it would make sense to have bulges there, but 
they seem to be too thick, or offset to the right, or some such.

Then by all means do something about it ;-)

I've seen rougher walls with floors having a mirror like finish in real 
life.
The window is also quite "normal" in the represented environment.

In fact, the way that the wall becomes much rougher just at it's bottom 
is very realist.

Wow, this is really impressive Ive. This kind of painterly Dutch lighting is
*so* beautiful.

Totally inspiring, thank you!

Renaissance and early Baroque at large in fact.
