About the piece

Johannes Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' (c. 1665) is one of the most beloved works in art history. Often referred to as the 'Mona Lisa of the North,' this 'tronie' depicts a young woman in exotic dress, highlighted by the brilliant blue of her ultramarine turban and the soft, reflective glow of a single large pearl.
