Incorrect(?) Analysis of Netscher's The Lacemaker[edit]

The article implies one of the sources cited for Netscher's The Lacemaker identifies parts of the painting as being sexual allusions. (Citation 5, http://www.essentialvermeer.com/cat_about/lacemkr.html).

However, this doesn't seem to be the case after reading that citation. Should it be removed? Thoosidadeez (talk) 19:57, 28 July 2011 (UTC)Thoosidadeez[reply]
