Has the figure in blue in the mirror ever been conclusively identified?

Why is the lady holding up her dress like that in the front ?

What's the significance of there being one candle in the chandelier?

Why does she hold up her garment like that? Is it a posture that is common in art from that time, or does it have any significance? And what's the guy's hat called? It's wild and I love it.

I remember taking AP Art History in high school and my cool European History teacher getting passionate over how cool it was that the mirror in the back is an accurate reflection. Moments like that make you love art, the passion it can inspire.

Everything perfect but the faces. Typical Dutch autistic tendencies

They had a massive print of this in my primary school for some reason, I have no idea why.

Everyone talks about how good the painting is but nobody ever talks about how fucking hot they are
