I was surprised to see this was not already a featured picture. – Editør (talk) 09:38, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support — Perhaps a somewhat lesser-known Vermeer, due to the prosaic character of the subject? Sca (talk) 15:31, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I could have sworn that we had a featured version of this. Good thing I didn't. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:39, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Support.... Is a good picture (and quite famous too, even if nobody made a film on it) Hafspajen (talk) 11:10, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support (having stumbled here from my FPC discussion page). Agree with Crisco 1492, above, thought this was already featured. — Cirt (talk) 16:38, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
