What is printed on the back of each The Milkmaid piece?

Instead of leaving the reverse blank, we print a museum wall plaque written specifically for The Milkmaid (1658). It covers how Johannes Vermeer composed the work, the materials and techniques involved, and where the original hangs today at Rijksmuseum.

The Milkmaid

Johannes Vermeer (1658)

Revered as a quiet triumph of the Dutch Golden Age, this intimate domestic study elevates humble daily labor into timeless monumentality. A low vantage point and pinhole-guided linear perspective lend the figure heroic dignity, while cool daylight anchors the room in hushed stillness. Lavish natural ultramarine from crushed lapis lazuli pairs with warm lead-tin yellow, while raised pointillé dots of light across the bread and wicker create a sparkling, tactile illusion of texture.

Heavyweight natural cotton canvas printed with The Milkmaid on one side and its museum wall plaque on the other. Built with reinforced straps for books, daily errands, or a trip to the gallery.

Why We Print on Both Sides

When you visit Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, half the magic of standing in front of The Milkmaid (1658) is leaning in to read the wall label next to the frame. We wanted our pieces to capture that same experience. One side shows Johannes Vermeer’s work in crisp detail, and the other side carries its museum wall plaque so the history behind the canvas is never lost.
