Vermeer. The Milkmaid. 1658
Painterly- The colors are all completely blended. The walls. Her clothing. The basket and pot thing-bob in the background.
Recessional- The angles and shadows of the painting give it depth and direction.
Open- Again, the way that this painting is laid out, it draws the imagination to the rest of the room etc.
Unity- I'm only saying this really because she fits totally with the milk jug and the table however, I don't believe that this painting is a very good example of unity vs. multiplicity
Relative Clarity- You know that it is a milkmaid, but there is no explanation for the whole scene-- who she is or how she got there
