The Milkmaid - Johannes Vermeer (1658-1661)

One of the greatest paintings of its time IMHO, unlike many Dutch masterpieces of the era (portraits for the wealthy merchants), it captures a woman of low standing going about a routine task, in brilliant detail and composition.

I feel very privileged to find a community to discuss art after leaving the big R. May it long continue :)
