There are two paintings by Johannes Vermeer in the collection of the National Gallery in London. Both are exquisite masterpieces, and both are pictures of women playing a virginal. At some point, the museum started to wonder if they were originally intended as pendants.
In this video, we take a close look at these two paintings. At their compositions, their symbolism and whether or not they were intended as a pair and to be shown together .
