Blimey! That's quite an article. I never noticed the lesion the author says he sees on the Girl's lip, and am a little sceptical about the diagnosis of syphilis! It's funny, I think I know the painting well, but I am constantly being pointed out things I hadn't noticed before, like that her ear lobe is being pulled by the earring, or that the light points in her eyes are not quite the same, giving her a 3D quality. And now, her lip! Thanks for this, very interesting...
