21500:29:13,918 --> 00:29:17,217our butcher's son...the family's butcher.

21600:29:17,255 --> 00:29:19,689

Sir, mistress,I'm glad to meet you.

21700:29:19,724 --> 00:29:24,252So, the butcher...that's a good trade.

21800:29:24,295 --> 00:29:27,696Griet is the hardest to pleaseof all our customers.

21900:29:27,732 --> 00:29:31,498Aye, she gets that from me.

22000:29:33,371 --> 00:29:35,430There now, I forgot.

22100:29:35,507 --> 00:29:37,498We must speak withWillem Jansson.

22200:29:37,575 --> 00:29:40,373Griet, you go onwith Pieter there.

22300:29:47,585 --> 00:29:49,314Good morning.- So Griet...

22400:29:49,354 --> 00:29:51,788where is that smileyou owe me,

22500:29:51,823 --> 00:29:54,485when I have been so cleveras to track you down?

22600:29:58,229 --> 00:30:00,129You had nothing betterto do.

22700:30:11,109 --> 00:30:13,304


18/45

Shocking.She should know better.

22800:30:13,344 --> 00:30:14,811She should at her age.

22900:30:18,149 --> 00:30:21,710When I saw you with Tanneke I thoughtyou were a little Catholic girl.

23000:30:29,427 --> 00:30:31,452He started a new painting.

23100:30:34,199 --> 00:30:35,598There's no buyer.

23200:30:35,633 --> 00:30:38,124He won't even let me see it.

23300:30:38,203 --> 00:30:40,034But he's working again.

23400:30:40,104 --> 00:30:42,402It usually takes him longer.

23500:31:27,619 --> 00:31:29,018Good.

23600:31:33,024 --> 00:31:36,152Very good.Keep it level all the time.

23700:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,039Do you know what it is?

23800:32:32,116 --> 00:32:33,947A camera obscura.

23900:32:48,466 --> 00:32:49,763Look into the glass.

24000:33:03,414 --> 00:33:05,382Here. Put this on.

24100:33:17,628 --> 00:33:18,959You can see?


19/45

24200:33:24,702 --> 00:33:27,466- I'm so sorry, sir.- No, don't worry about the robe.

243

00:33:27,538 --> 00:33:28,869What did you see?

24400:33:32,810 --> 00:33:34,072I saw the painting.

24500:33:37,115 --> 00:33:38,139But...

246

00:33:43,221 --> 00:33:44,950how did it get in there?

24700:33:49,127 --> 00:33:50,617See this?

24800:33:52,764 --> 00:33:53,890This is called "a lens."

24900:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,458

Beams of reflected lightfrom that corner pass through it...

25000:33:58,703 --> 00:34:01,228into the box...so that we can see it here.

25100:34:01,305 --> 00:34:03,136Is it real?

25200:34:03,174 --> 00:34:05,404It's an image.

25300:34:05,443 --> 00:34:09,072A picture made of light.

25400:34:11,149 --> 00:34:13,743Does the box show youwhat to paint?

25500:34:21,759 --> 00:34:22,851It helps.


20/45

25600:34:30,134 --> 00:34:33,228You didn't get me.I got you.

257

00:34:33,304 --> 00:34:34,669No, you're cheating.

25800:34:34,739 --> 00:34:36,707Oh, do we have to play this?

25900:34:38,076 --> 00:34:39,100So...

260

00:34:40,645 --> 00:34:43,011Stop it.Oh, look Cornelia.

26100:34:43,047 --> 00:34:44,275There.

26200:34:45,283 --> 00:34:46,477Now you're it.

263

00:34:47,518 --> 00:34:49,679- I've got it.- I've got it.

26400:34:49,720 --> 00:34:50,709Yes I can.

26500:34:50,755 --> 00:34:52,154- No way.- It's mine.

26600:34:52,190 --> 00:34:54,715- No.- I'll catch it.

26700:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,283Cornelia!

26800:35:00,665 --> 00:35:02,132I won't tell you again.

26900:35:03,367 --> 00:35:04,493


21/45

Girls, come inside.

27000:35:04,535 --> 00:35:07,561- Why?- Come on. Don't make a fuss.

27100:35:39,770 --> 00:35:41,203It's dirty now.

27200:36:56,747 --> 00:36:58,908- I'm sorry, sir.- Shh...

27300:37:06,023 --> 00:37:07,513Stay.

27400:37:32,516 --> 00:37:34,279Lead white.

27500:37:39,423 --> 00:37:42,221From the cupboard.

27600:38:19,297 --> 00:38:21,288Please let me see your hair.

27700:38:24,201 --> 00:38:25,668What color is it?

27800:38:27,305 --> 00:38:28,363Brown.

27900:38:30,775 --> 00:38:31,764Straight or curly?

28000:38:33,878 --> 00:38:35,106Neither.

28100:38:35,146 --> 00:38:36,875Long?

28200:38:36,914 --> 00:38:40,372- Very long?- No.

28300:38:44,622 --> 00:38:46,886My mother will expect me home.


22/45

28400:38:46,924 --> 00:38:49,415She knows where you are, Griet.

28500:39:04,475 --> 00:39:07,171

You're looking at it?

28600:39:10,181 --> 00:39:11,580Well...

28700:39:11,615 --> 00:39:14,846Nothing is the right color.

28800:39:16,821 --> 00:39:18,220

This is the base color.

28900:39:18,255 --> 00:39:20,883It gives the tone...

29000:39:20,925 --> 00:39:23,553shadow in the light.

29100:39:23,594 --> 00:39:25,619And when it's dry...

29200:39:25,663 --> 00:39:27,858I glaze over it with blue, but...

29300:39:27,898 --> 00:39:30,662thinly, so thatthe black shows through.

29400:39:40,444 --> 00:39:41,604Look, Griet.

29500:39:43,814 --> 00:39:44,974Look at the clouds.

29600:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,084What color are they?

29700:39:56,394 --> 00:39:57,759White?

29800:39:59,296 --> 00:40:01,890


23/45

No...not white.

29900:40:10,374 --> 00:40:11,739Yellow.

30000:40:15,346 --> 00:40:18,213Blue...and grey.

30100:40:20,317 --> 00:40:22,285There are colorsin the clouds.

30200:40:29,827 --> 00:40:31,795

Now you understand.

30300:40:54,084 --> 00:40:56,518Thinking aboutyour butcher boy?

30400:41:25,549 --> 00:41:27,039Come.

30500:41:29,086 --> 00:41:32,419

This... is ruby shellac.

30600:41:41,499 --> 00:41:42,864Gum arabic.

30700:41:47,505 --> 00:41:48,802Wine skin.

30800:41:53,744 --> 00:41:55,905This will make verdigris.

30900:41:57,748 --> 00:41:59,272Malachite.

31000:42:03,020 --> 00:42:04,749Vermilion.

31100:42:10,928 --> 00:42:12,691That...

31200:42:14,398 --> 00:42:15,660


24/45

linseed oil.

31300:42:17,801 --> 00:42:19,029Bone black.

314

00:42:19,069 --> 00:42:21,970An you grind it with a muller,like this.

31500:42:31,515 --> 00:42:32,743You try.

31600:42:47,498 --> 00:42:49,193Twist from the shoulder.

31700:42:51,569 --> 00:42:53,127It's like this.

31800:43:37,948 --> 00:43:40,508Griet!

31900:43:41,385 --> 00:43:42,374The child needs a draught.

320

00:43:45,489 --> 00:43:48,822My mother will not be contenttill one of them dies from her meanness.

32100:43:48,859 --> 00:43:49,848Come on.

32200:43:49,893 --> 00:43:52,487You will need...

32300:44:01,739 --> 00:44:03,434On the master's account.

32400:44:17,054 --> 00:44:19,022- Griet.- Sir?

32500:44:20,891 --> 00:44:23,018I want you to get somethingfor me, too.

32600:44:24,294 --> 00:44:25,784


25/45

I want some colors.

32700:44:29,533 --> 00:44:30,898My wife need not know.

328

00:44:37,041 --> 00:44:39,032This is too thin.

32900:46:00,924 --> 00:46:02,391Did you get the lapis?

33000:46:06,630 --> 00:46:08,359You can mix the colors.

331

00:46:10,534 --> 00:46:11,660Mix the colors?

33200:46:13,103 --> 00:46:14,764Sir, I haven't time.

33300:46:16,306 --> 00:46:18,274Make time.

33400:46:49,373 --> 00:46:50,533

33500:46:50,607 --> 00:46:54,008- Nurse.I'm coming.

33600:46:57,881 --> 00:47:00,816Nurse! Come on!Quickly.

33700:47:32,382 --> 00:47:35,078How much longer is the wet nurseto be with us, mistress?

33800:47:36,220 --> 00:47:37,710I don't know.

33900:47:37,754 --> 00:47:39,984A month or so.

34000:47:40,023 --> 00:47:42,184No, Cornelia,


26/45

not my pearls.

34100:47:42,226 --> 00:47:43,818A month or more.

342

00:47:46,864 --> 00:47:47,853Why?

34300:47:47,898 --> 00:47:49,923What's it to you?

34400:47:49,967 --> 00:47:52,765Well, she's eating us out of houseand home for a start.

34500:47:52,803 --> 00:47:55,294She must eat for the baby.

34600:47:55,372 --> 00:47:59,604All I'm saying is, I can't cooktwice as much and have no sleep at all.

34700:47:59,643 --> 00:48:01,873Tell her to be quiet, then.

34800:48:01,912 --> 00:48:04,278If I could just go back to the cellar...

34900:48:04,314 --> 00:48:05,679Well, you can't.

35000:48:08,452 --> 00:48:10,181Griet has your place.

35100:48:16,793 --> 00:48:18,351Why not move Tanneke back?

35200:48:24,101 --> 00:48:26,160Put a mattress in the atticfor Griet.

35300:48:26,236 --> 00:48:28,568Tanneke can sleep soundly...

35400:48:29,773 --> 00:48:33,004and Griet can clean the studio


27/45

before she comes down in the morning.

35500:48:37,614 --> 00:48:38,945My jewels.

356

00:48:41,418 --> 00:48:43,443You always have my jewelsup there to paint.

35700:48:44,488 --> 00:48:45,716She...

35900:48:48,458 --> 00:48:50,323open it in the morning.

36000:49:03,240 --> 00:49:05,674There.Are you satisfied, Tanneke?

36100:49:05,709 --> 00:49:07,176Yes, mistress.

36200:50:34,464 --> 00:50:35,931Got it.I win again.

36300:50:35,966 --> 00:50:37,558No, we are drawing.

36400:50:37,601 --> 00:50:39,694- Well, I do.- No you don't.

36500:50:44,274 --> 00:50:46,799No need to goto the fish market tomorrow.

36600:50:46,877 --> 00:50:49,311Mistress wants eggs.

36700:50:53,483 --> 00:50:55,110

No...

368


28/45

00:50:55,152 --> 00:50:59,054she cannot abide the smellwhen she's with child.

36900:51:04,127 --> 00:51:05,788So soon?

37000:51:05,829 --> 00:51:08,195As if there weren't enough mouthsto feed already.

37100:51:10,200 --> 00:51:11,189Still...

37200:51:12,502 --> 00:51:13,935

37500:52:00,517 --> 00:52:02,781No, Jan.

37600:56:09,032 --> 00:56:10,897Why did you move the chair?

37700:56:16,940 --> 00:56:18,498She looked trapped.

37800:56:39,829 --> 00:56:40,853Griet!

37900:56:42,365 --> 00:56:43,923Are you up there?

38000:57:01,751 --> 00:57:03,946One of my tortoiseshell combsis gone.

38100:57:17,834 --> 00:57:20,132She's nothing but trouble.

38200:57:26,109 --> 00:57:28,407


29/45

Master, I did not do it.

38300:57:32,515 --> 00:57:34,380Help me.

384

00:57:44,561 --> 00:57:47,121Please.Let me look for you.

38500:57:48,164 --> 00:57:49,290Papa?

38700:57:51,901 --> 00:57:54,028Leave it alone. I'll find it.Please, sir.

38800:57:54,103 --> 00:57:56,264What's going on?What are you doing?

38900:57:59,742 --> 00:58:01,232

39000:58:01,311 --> 00:58:02,505For heaven's sake,

39100:58:02,545 --> 00:58:04,274you're scaring the children.

39200:58:07,183 --> 00:58:08,548What are you doing?

39300:58:22,599 --> 00:58:24,362Cornelia.

39400:58:48,291 --> 00:58:50,020She's dishonest.

39500:58:50,059 --> 00:58:52,823Always sneaking around.

Shirking her work.

396


30/45

00:58:55,064 --> 00:58:57,259Tanneke has complained of it.

39700:58:57,300 --> 00:58:59,461Creeping upstairs all day long.

39800:58:59,502 --> 00:59:04,030My daughter is right,there has been too much sneaking about.

39900:59:04,107 --> 00:59:06,166I only took herout of charity.

40000:59:06,242 --> 00:59:09,177

- If I thought she'd be...- With another child due

40100:59:09,212 --> 00:59:10,941we need the extra help.

40200:59:11,981 --> 00:59:13,073Fit in all your work

01:00:39,135 --> 01:00:40,864Wine...

42401:00:40,937 --> 01:00:42,871a good meal on your table.

42601:00:45,908 --> 01:00:49,071- And dancing.- It's better. Better, better.

42901:00:52,982 --> 01:00:57,316A merry gathering,but no family portrait.

43001:00:57,353 --> 01:01:02,518

And if I'm to spendtedious hours sitting

43101:01:02,558 --> 01:01:06,085I want somethingI can rest my eyes on.

43201:01:06,129 --> 01:01:08,962I think she ought to bein the painting.

43301:01:09,999 --> 01:01:12,467A tavern scene.It will make a change for you.

43401:01:12,502 --> 01:01:15,403Griet could come and serve me.

45001:02:41,824 --> 01:02:43,849You're only a maid,what can you do?

45101:02:45,495 --> 01:02:48,089- I must get back.- Don't walk away. Listen to me.

45401:02:58,775 --> 01:03:00,504I am only a maid,

45501:03:00,543 --> 01:03:03,137but I would never give into Master Van Ruijven.

45601:03:03,179 --> 01:03:04,976

I wasn't talkingabout Van Ruijven.

45701:03:18,161 --> 01:03:19,958Ah, you girl, Griet.

45801:03:19,996 --> 01:03:21,554Come here.

46001:03:26,102 --> 01:03:27,091We both did.

46101:03:27,170 --> 01:03:31,630I hear you've been of great useto your master, pretty Griet.

46201:03:31,707 --> 01:03:34,904All that grinding and stirring, eh?


35/45

46301:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,541Master and maid.

46401:03:39,582 --> 01:03:42,050

It's a tune we all know.

46501:03:43,619 --> 01:03:47,453And you can practice together nowthat we've made our bargain. Eh, Jan?

46601:03:49,225 --> 01:03:50,988You won't forget, will you?

467

01:03:52,662 --> 01:03:53,754Good.

46801:04:23,593 --> 01:04:25,720- What should I...?- No.

46901:04:27,697 --> 01:04:31,098No. I already... already beguna group painting.

47001:04:33,803 --> 01:04:36,829You're not to sit with MasterVan Ruijven, that much is agreed.

47201:04:44,013 --> 01:04:45,480I'm to paint you alone.

47301:05:03,232 --> 01:05:06,793My daughter must not hearof this other painting in her condition.

47401:05:10,873 --> 01:05:13,740It's to hangin his private cabinet.

47501:05:15,878 --> 01:05:17,903

He's no fool,mind you.


36/45

47601:05:17,947 --> 01:05:21,246An he won't be taken for one,so don't think otherwise.

47701:05:24,053 --> 01:05:26,681

You're a fly in his web.

47801:05:29,592 --> 01:05:31,685We all are.

47901:05:40,269 --> 01:05:43,238You've to admit, my friend,French swords are the best.

480

01:05:50,746 --> 01:05:51,713Tomorrow morning.

48101:05:53,983 --> 01:05:55,917I cannot, I have work.

48201:05:55,952 --> 01:05:58,386Find a way.

48301:06:21,744 --> 01:06:23,712

The front of your cap,fold it back.

48401:06:42,531 --> 01:06:44,328Take off your cap.

48501:06:50,873 --> 01:06:52,306No, sir.

48801:06:57,013 --> 01:06:58,480I will not.

48901:06:59,515 --> 01:07:01,676

I need to seeyour face.


37/45

49001:07:01,717 --> 01:07:03,708The cap covers too much.

49101:07:12,661 --> 01:07:14,856There's some cloth

in the storeroom.

49201:08:25,101 --> 01:08:28,832You know, I've a mind to go up thereone day and surprise him

49301:08:28,904 --> 01:08:30,201in the act.

494

01:08:33,576 --> 01:08:35,976But you said yourselfit's very dull.

49501:08:36,011 --> 01:08:38,343Oh, not with Emilie

49601:08:38,380 --> 01:08:41,611when he's alone with someyoung beauty.

49801:08:46,689 --> 01:08:49,522Only the young pretty ones.

49901:08:49,558 --> 01:08:51,219On their own.

50001:08:51,260 --> 01:08:53,023You'll have to wait then.

50101:08:55,331 --> 01:08:57,526He makes only one paintingat a time.

50201:08:58,567 --> 01:09:00,501Is that so?

50301:09:45,114 --> 01:09:46,240

522

01:13:31,874 --> 01:13:34,206The composition,it's not balanced.

52301:13:34,243 --> 01:13:36,177I've seen you paintwith no one there.

52401:13:36,211 --> 01:13:38,475You want me to imaginehow the earring would look?

52501:13:38,514 --> 01:13:40,175My ears are not pierced.

52601:13:48,891 --> 01:13:51,189She'll find out.

52701:13:57,099 --> 01:13:58,828This has to be, Griet.

52801:14:01,136 --> 01:14:02,626See for yourself.

52901:14:20,389 --> 01:14:22,755You looked inside me.

53501:15:36,632 --> 01:15:39,658Do you move him?Do you inspire him?

53601:15:39,701 --> 01:15:44,001Tell me, has the master's brushunlocked the secrets of your heart?

53701:15:48,377 --> 01:15:51,369Ripe as a plum...still unplucked.

53801:15:51,446 --> 01:15:53,243

What's he playing at?

53901:15:54,249 --> 01:15:58,549He made a bargain with me.He's painting you at my pleasure.

54001:16:04,026 --> 01:16:07,518- No!- I've waited long enough.

54101:16:07,563 --> 01:16:10,191What a great fool he is.

54201:16:11,533 --> 01:16:13,262Don't fight.

54301:16:19,007 --> 01:16:20,133No! No!

41/45

54501:16:25,714 --> 01:16:28,205Not a word.

54601:16:28,250 --> 01:16:30,377You'll lose your place.

54701:16:33,889 --> 01:16:35,686He won't look at you again.

54801:16:36,892 --> 01:16:38,257Griet!

54901:16:41,530 --> 01:16:43,327Ah, there you are, my dear.

55101:16:46,535 --> 01:16:48,435cock and bull story.

55201:17:29,211 --> 01:17:30,508Well, girl?

55301:17:32,681 --> 01:17:34,239What's to be done?

55501:17:38,253 --> 01:17:40,278and he will bear no more delay.

55601:17:42,057 --> 01:17:44,548If he crosses Van Ruijven over this...

55701:17:44,593 --> 01:17:46,686he will lose him.

55801:17:46,728 --> 01:17:48,889Then what?

55901:18:15,323 --> 01:18:16,915

57501:24:53,455 --> 01:24:55,218Laughing at mein my own house.

57601:24:55,256 --> 01:24:58,817I will see for myself.No one will stop me.

57701:24:58,860 --> 01:25:01,351

There is nothing to see.You're making yourself ridiculous.

57801:25:01,396 --> 01:25:02,488Calm, my dear.

57901:25:02,530 --> 01:25:05,055I will not be calm!

58001:25:05,100 --> 01:25:06,795

Am I a child?!

58101:25:07,936 --> 01:25:10,166Does no one speak the truth to mein my own house?

58201:25:10,238 --> 01:25:13,730By all the saints, if you would stopscreaming for a moment, I can explain.

58301:25:13,808 --> 01:25:14,934More lies?!

59001:25:44,372 --> 01:25:46,169There's no point.

59101:25:46,241 --> 01:25:48,675

No point?!

59201:25:50,478 --> 01:25:53,641I am too stupid to lookat a painting now?

59301:25:56,918 --> 01:26:00,217She can't read!You know that?

594

01:26:00,255 --> 01:26:02,780Sit down.You'll exhaust yourself.

59501:26:02,824 --> 01:26:03,882Why can't I look?

59601:26:03,925 --> 01:26:07,019It's just a commission. Gonein a few days. You need never see it.

59701:26:10,565 --> 01:26:12,123They are just paintings.

59801:26:12,167 --> 01:26:15,694Pictures, for money.They mean nothing.

59901:26:24,612 --> 01:26:27,410Is it true she wore my pearls?

60001:26:35,557 --> 01:26:37,582

605

01:27:27,642 --> 01:27:29,610It's obscene.

60601:27:40,722 --> 01:27:42,849Why don't you paint me?

60701:27:42,890 --> 01:27:44,482Because you don't understand!
