About the piece
Created around 1664, this masterwork by Johannes Vermeer is a quintessential example of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting captures a private moment as a young woman adjusts her pearls in the soft morning light filtering through a window, her vibrant yellow morning jacket providing a stunning contrast to the muted, atmospheric background.
