(f) "Dr Weber argues that his art reflects the influence of a circle of Jesuit priests in Delft who were interested in optics. 'The Lacemaker' (1666-68), on loan from the Louvre, is a good example. "
(i) The Lacemaker (Vermeer)

, whose painting caption reads: "The Lace Maker (1662) by Caspar Netscher. Although this work shares with Vermeer a sense of quiet solitude, it hints at sexual overtones unvisited by the later [sic; should be latter] artist [Vermeer]"

("While the mussel shells and the shoes create a visual parallel, their individual meanings stand in juxtaposition. In prior scholarship, both mussels and discarded shoes have been interpreted as related to illicit sexuality or adultery in Dutch genre paintings. Mussels have been associated with oysters as aphrodisiacs and connected to sexual promiscuity, such as in art historian Peter Glum's analysis of Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights. Glum affirmed this interpretation by noting that the Middle Dutch word for mussel, mosschele, was also contemporary slang for female genitalia.[55] Discarded shoes have also been connected to loose morals or sexual promiscuity, where the pair of shoes, toppled rather than neatly set aside, suggest illicit love, adultery, or otherwise sinful sexual behavior")
(ii) " 'Woman Holding a Balance' (ca 1662-64), in which the woman is 'weighing earthly and heavenly values, and deciding which way to go,' Dr Weber says"

("now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC")
(iii) "Frick's three Vermeers, including the courtship-themed, vaguely ominous 'Girl Interrupted at Her Music' (ca 1659-61)"
(A) Girl Interrupted at Her Music
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Interrupted_at_Her_Music
talks about a glass with wine in it. I did not see it.
(B) Girl Interrupted at Her Music. Frick Collection, undated
https://collections.frick.org/ob ... rupted-at-her-music
at the highest resolution does show a glass.
(C) I am a straight arrow. Never a conspiracy theorist. I see nothing "ominous." The only reference about being ominous in the Web is
Alexandra Fradelizio, I preferred, much preferred, my version: Exploring the Female Voice and Feminine Identity Within Memoirs of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Department of Literature and Languages, Dominican University of California, May 9, 2016 (senior thesis).

("Despite her being institutionalized [voluntarily stayed at McLean Hospital, a Harvard-affiliated mental hospital based in Belmont (a Boston suburb), Massachusetts] for two years of her early adult life * * * The first time she [Susanna Kaysen] viewed the painting as a seventeen year old student, Kaysen recalls how the female figure within the painting seemed to 'warn' her, as she explains, 'Her mouth was slightly open, as if she had just drawn a breath in order to say to me, "Don't!" ' (166 [likely page number in the book]). This ominous admission * * * ")

• Firstly, the title of the thesis is copied verbatim from the thesis, including upper and lower case. Because the second half ("Exploring the Female Voice * * * ") has the first letter capitalized, I suspect this is the true title. Then, what is "I preferred, much preferred, my version"?
Fradelizio was quoting from one of the five memoirs she analyzed: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Know_Why_the_Caged_Bird_Sings
("a 1969 autobiography [by Maya Angelou (born Marguerite Annie Johnson, whose first marriage was to Tosh Angelos, a Greek) when she was 41] * * * it is a coming-of-age story that * * * begins when three-year-old Maya and her older brother are sent to Stamps, Arkansas, to live with their grandmother and ends when Maya becomes a mother at the age of 16"/ section 1 Background, section 1.1 Title)
• The following is a study aid:

("The Dentist [which is the sectional heading] [:] In Chapter 24 * * * However, later on, Maya overhears Momma telling the real version * * * Maya tells us 'I preferred, much preferred, my version' ")
(iv) "the Rijksmuseum's 'The Milkmaid' (1658-59), which, far beyond the world of art experts, has become a national symbol of the Netherlands" for (domestic virtue) or (Dutch ethics). The last two items are found in the Web.
