She is perhaps the loveliest painting I know. The Girl with a Pearl Earring in the Mauritshuis is an undeniable masterpiece. It is just such a lovely and lively girl that looks at us from her picture frame. but at the same time she is so mysterious, because we have no idea who she is or why he painted her.
Most likely, she was intended to be a Tronie; a genre in painting of striking faces, sometimes of funny characters, sometimes of idealised beauties.
In this video, I'll tell you all about her.
