About the piece
Painted by Johannes Vermeer around 1670, this refined scene depicts a young woman at a virginal, her calm gaze meeting the viewer's. The composition is a masterclass in Dutch interior painting, featuring exquisite light, a painting of Cupid in the background, and intricate Delft tiles along the floor—all characteristic of Vermeer's quiet, luminous style.
