Also from Mauritshuis, one of Vermeer's best-known works. See it close up. Very close up!

  • Love the painting!, tnx for the video!

  • My pleasure. Thanks for visiting. HS

  • Is it the original painting? Where it is? I´m dying to see it, and seing a Vermeer exhibition in Madrid.

  • Yes, it is the original. You can see it's relative size to people there. It also shows brush strokes, heavy use of paint which is unusual for Vermeer.

    There is another "girl" type painting atributed to Vermeer, though not in any books of his work but it sure looks like his. Black backgrond and other similarities to Girl.

    Anyhow, enjoy. Which ones will be in Madrid?

  • Hola, at the moment there isn´t anyone, but I saw one or two at National Gallery in London 3 years ago. I live 300 kilometres from apart of Madrid, so I´m waiting to Vermeer to rush there. Sorry mistakes, I´m learning English.

  • Enjoy and safe trip. Sorry I don't speak Spanish or I would gladly communicate that way.But as one says in Dutch,

    Tot ziens

    (G'bye)

  • It's beautiful.......Thank you for the very, very close up.

    Luck you :)

  • Wow, Amazing!!!!

  • very good video, incredible

  • I love this painting!!

  • The magic of this work is that the girl appears as though she had just slowly turned her head and noticed the artist, and he captured that precise moment.

  • I recall a visit I made to the Mauritshaus and the room that housed 3 Vermeers ,including this one. The girl looks at you from the painting in such an intense way that when I decided to leave on turning I still felt her eyes on my back!

  • I look like this woman of THE GIRL WITH PEARL EARRING.I came across the painting about 2 years ago in a magazine I get of reproductions and antiques.Although I am familiar with paintings I didn't know about this.When I saw it I was in shock cause I look just like her.I put a picture on facebook and everyone says I look like her.When my family saw it they were in shock to see it and how much it looks like me.

  • wow such a beautiful painting.

  • he truely captured that young lady in his painting
