Girl with a Pearl Earring, 1665

Johannes Vermeer

Oil on canvas · 44.5 x 39 cm

A tronie of a turned head and a single glinting pearl, endlessly re-stared-at.

Often called the 'Mona Lisa of the North,' Vermeer's girl turns to meet our eye, lips parted, a single pearl catching the light. She is not a portrait but a 'tronie' — a study of a face and an exotic turban. Quiet, luminous, unforgettable.
