Luckily, not one of my favorites. But there are so few of them and it's a big deal.

^^^ Does Girl with a Flute date to the same period in which Vermeer himself painted? (I only looked at the first link you posted, and it does not give a date.). I have always loved Vermeer's paintings, and whilst this one does seem to echo "Vermeer," there is also something about the face, the eyes in particular, that seem a little off to me.

I totally agree - a little "off."
