"The birds add a story. It's a symbol of freedom, of winging it. Such a bird locked with a girl has a symbolic meaning. There are also 'enticing' props like an apple. And letters - this also echoes Vermeer's fascination, because he, after all, painted women reading a letter. This brilliantly builds up the narrative, there is a story here, a mystery we don't know about." Halina Tymusz
