In "Woman at her Toilet", by Jan Havicksz. Steen, made between 1655 - 1660, you see a woman on her bed, with orange stockings.
Is she putting them on or taking them off?
Hint: Note the area just below her knees.

Most of Vermeer's paintings are on canvas and recently these canvas weave patterns were studied by x-ray.
This painting, "Girl with Red hat" was exceptionally painted on oak. Vermeer put this oak panel down flat on a table and on the hat section, poured extremely diluted red paint out on the surface. It has dried up in many semi-transparent layer upon layer. The effect; when we stand in front of it, is shimmering and magical.
The painting can be viewed in the National Gallery in Washington D.C. in the United States of America.
