Title: The Girl with a Pearl Earring

Artist: Johannes Vermeer 

Date. c 1665

Location: Mauritshuis, The Hague

Fun fact: Tracy Chevalier wrote a historical novel, also entitled Girl with a Pearl Earring (1999), fictionalizing the circumstances of the painting's creation.

my fav thing about this painting is that the pearl earring is not even painted on, its just the highlight of it! if you look closely and ignore the highlight the pearl is impossible to see.Just such an interesting technique!
