Piercy analyzes the girl from birth and uses a detached, expecting tone to portray her normality.

At this point it is clear the child is a toddler or in adolescence since she plays with these toys that little girls are expected to pay with at that age. The first stanza abruptly ends with “You have a great big nose and fat legs.” (6).

This technique provokes a series of thoughts in the viewer: why does Vermeer want us to see only the Girl? What significance does this Girl hold in his life? One can appreciate the smooth texture of the Girl’s facial features, the radiance in her eyes and her lovely vermilion lips. An intriguing detail would be the absence of the line that defines the profile of the left hand side of her nose, which suggests that Vermeer might have painted the portrait with the help of a camera obscura that tends to alleviate the tonal range of the image, causing the lines to disappear.

Emotional abuse includes excessive, aggressive or unreasonable demands that place expectations on a child beyond his or her capacity. It can include anything from verbal abuse and constant criticism to more subtle tactics, such as repeated disapproval or even the refusal to ever be pleased. The negative messages of emotional child abuse causes inner damage that either destroys or impairs the development of a positive sense of self. Studies conclude kids may experience a lifelong pattern of depression, estrangement, anxiety, low self esteem, inappropriate or troubled relationships and a lack of empathy. As teenagers, they find it difficult to trust, participate in and achieve happiness in interpersonal relationships, and resolve the complex feelings left over from their childhoods.
