About the piece

Painted around 1665 by Johannes Vermeer, this masterpiece exemplifies the artist's unparalleled ability to capture light and texture. The young woman’s soft expression, the sheen of her pearl earring, and the heavy folds of her white wrap are rendered with extraordinary delicacy against the deep, dark background.
