This painting was the centerpiece of a Met exhibit commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage. Removed from this painting was a large map covering the wall and a basket of clothes in the bottom right, leaving only one hanging basket and a shiny copper container. A blue cloth hanging off the table in this painting echoes the blue cloth wrapped around its subject's waist. A cupid aiming a bow can be seen on a porcelain tile next to a (*) foot warmer, which subtly hints at the sexual arousal of its female subject. An array of breads sits waiting to be made into pudding, next to a clay bowl that its subject is using. This painting depicts a woman wearing a white headdress and a yellow shirt with her sleeves rolled up. For 10 points, name this Vermeer painting of a woman pouring a dairy liquid.
