This print is based on « The Girl with a Pearl Earring », a renowned oil painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, believed to have been painted around 1665. The painting features a young woman, shown in three-quarter view, wearing a turban and a large pearl earring. Her enigmatic expression and the striking contrast between light and shadow contribute to the painting’s intrigue. The pearl earring, in particular, stands out as a focal point, drawing viewers’ attention to the girl’s face. Vermeer’s meticulous attention to detail and use of light create a sense of depth and realism, making the painting one of his most celebrated works and a masterpiece of Dutch Golden Age art.
