Girl with a Pearl Earring (Johannes Vermeer)
The Mona Lisa of the North, staring over her shoulder/Art & Sculpture
Johannes Vermeer painted Girl with a Pearl Earring around 1665. Often called the 'Mona Lisa of the North,' it depicts a young woman in a blue and gold turban with a large pearl earring, turning to look at the viewer over her shoulder against a dark background. The painting is a tronie, a Dutch genre of character study rather than a portrait of a specific person. It hangs in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague. Tracy Chevalier's 1999 novel and the subsequent 2003 film brought it renewed fame.
