Very much a slice of life story for a made living in 1600s Holland. She struggles with unwanted male attention, and a crush on her adult master which is relatively tame, but still damning. I think the saddest part for me was that she was clearly intelligent and talented, and yet there was no way for her to express her abilities and she understood her life was to be a butcher’s wife. She never even contemplated that she could be an artist.
