<It seems as if the girl on your image is more confident about herself, the
girl on the painting seems a bit unsecure, maybe even scared by the
painter.

You're definitively right ! The girl on the painting was probably a servant
and maybe she was terrified by Vermeer. But when I look in her eyes for a
long time, I can see a sort of quiet force. Behind the appearances, for me,
she's stronger than we think. Perhaps, this is what I want to *paint*.

the best way for me to explain what I mean.
