4.  THE GLASS OF WINE

(Girl drinking wine #3)

Remember that "as painted" images are available -- "LINKS" button -- "clickable map"

Again the evidence cannot be denied -- this is yet another example of Vermeer using the Grail Geometry. In this case it is The Tilted Hexagram that constrains the composition. As in "The Officer and the Laughing Girl", Vermeer oriented the gentleman's hat very obviously here in "The Glass of Wine" to conform to one line of the hexagram; but many, many other features have been placed in registration with other lines, angles and nodes of this complex framework. There are many more guidelines that can be drawn on this image, but I have refrained from doing so, to keep the example immediately obvious as confirmation of my analysis. The viewer may print out the image and try drawing the rest of the lines -- try drawing lines parallel to those provided.
