About the piece

Created by Johannes Vermeer around 1672, this painting is a celebrated example of the artist's mastery of light and texture. The work features a young woman in a vibrant yellow jacket—a recurring garment in Vermeer's oeuvre—strumming a guitar, showcasing the sophisticated domestic life of 17th-century Delft.
