And Their She Was
“Girl with a Pearl Earring” is a renowned oil painting by Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer, created around 1665. It depicts an idealized young woman, likely not a specific portrait, wearing a turban and a large pearl earring. The painting is a tronie, a type of Dutch genre painting that focuses on depicting a character type or an idealized figure rather than a specific individual. The painting is housed at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague.
