The front view of the facade miniature of "Vlamingstraat 42" in Delft is a faithful copy of the seventeenth century facade as painted frontally by Johannes Vermeer in his painting “The Little Street”. For example, the brickwork is the same as in Vermeer’s painting, because the size of the bricks has been copied from the painting and then etched in messing. Then we used mat varnish and pigments to create the relief and colour as accurately as possible. The third dimension ‘depth’ in the miniature is based on the accurate study of subtle indications to be discovered in the painting, for example in the construction of the frames and their recessed position in the wall. The depth of the tiled floor, which almost covers the entire width of the premises, could be calculated on the basis of the size of the tiles.

The Delft artist Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) made his world-famous painting “The Little Street” around 1660. It offers a peaceful view on what initially does not seem to be a very special part of Delft, with two houses along a canal separated by two archways. However, it is a masterly painting with a very exciting composition and section. This masterpiece rightfully has a prominent place in the Gallery of Honour of The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

In 2015 art historian Frans Grijzenhout published his impressive research on the original location of these houses in Delft, that is to say, the numbers 40 and 42 in the Vlamingstraat. (The Little Street of Vermeer, Rijksmuseum)

The correctness of this conclusion and the question if Vermeer painted an existing reality anyway, is subject of a continuing discussion on the life and artwork of Johannes Vermeer.

The facade miniature is placed in a wooden display, which is 23 cm high, 18 cm wide and 5.5 cm deep. It is painted in two Rijksmuseum green tones.

The front has a 2-mm thick, almost invisible museum glass. A separate wooden cover protects the museum glass during transport.

The top of the display has been screwed together from the back, so that it can be removed to take out the museum glass and miniature from the display, if necessary.

At the back the display has an opening to hang it on the wall without a problem.
