About the piece

Painted around 1659, Johannes Vermeer's 'The Wine Glass' is a definitive example of the Dutch Golden Age genre. The composition is celebrated for its precise perspective, the luminous quality of the woman’s red dress, and the exquisite handling of natural light as it filters through the stained-glass window into the silent room.
