Van Dyck or Vermeer?

Try and tell me this child doesn't look like he belongs in a Dutch painting.

Well, besides a few obviously non-Dutch compositional things like not looking directly at the viewer, etc. I still think the resemblance/style similarities are remarkable.

Ah, quite the Art History major observation! Too bad I (unfortunately) am going to have to google what on earth a Van Dyke and a Vermeer are. :)

Ben must be sad...no Scottish resemblance mentioned in this post. Mom
