Thank you for this post! I haven't heard about Schalcken before (probably because his era isn't my usual playground), and I'll definitely check out the movie-- maybe even the story. :)
And I'm definitely getting Vermeer vibes from the movie still: obviously it's the floor tiles, the reading lady at the back in front of a window, and the painter upfront. Marvellous! I like these nods towards something else.
A friend of mine just recently posted a 500 words ficlet based on the gothic tale, what a coincidence! In case you're interested you can read it here.
ETA: I should really refresh days-old entry tabs, man. Then I would have seen stonepicnicking_okapi already popped up here. :D
