Johannes Vermeer: Girl with a Pearl Earring

Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most famous painting, it is located in the Museum Mauritshuis The Hague, Netherlands. It is not a portrait, but a ‘tronie’ – a painting of an imaginary figure. Tronies depict a certain type or character; in this case a girl in exotic dress, wearing an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear. Johannes Vermeer was the master of light. This is shown here in the softness of the girl’s face and the glimmers of light on her moist lips. And of course, the shining pearl.
