About This Painting

The Girl with Turban and the Mauritshuis of The Hague

In this beautiful oil on canvas, a young woman looks over her shoulder, her eyes meeting yours with a soft peach glow. She occupies the center of the frame against a dark background. Until 1995, this work was known simply as Girl with Turban. [1] She wears a blue turban wrapped around her head, with a long yellow-gold band hanging behind her shoulder.

A strong light source from the upper left illuminates her face, nose, and parted lips. Her gaze is direct and inviting. The dark background glaze is composed of bone black, weld, chalk, red ochre, and indigo. [2] Johannes Vermeer signed the canvas 'IVMeer' in the upper left with IVM in ligature, but he left it undated. [3] [2]

Johannes Vermeer is only known to have produced 36 works. [4] On our site, you can find oil reproductions of Johannes Vermeer. These include his beautiful View of Delft or his quiet Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window. This painting remains one of the one hundred most famous masterpieces.

The Two Brushstrokes of the Pearl and the Sphinx of Delft

Johannes Vermeer utilized costly ultramarine sourced from lapis lazuli in Afghanistan for the headscarf, and insect-derived red from South America for her lips. [4] The dense yellowish ground contains chalk, lead white, ochre, and minimal black. [2] Yet the jewel in her ear is actually a glass, lacquered drop earring rather than a real pearl. [1]

To render this ornament, Johannes Vermeer used only two strokes: a bright highlight and a soft collar reflection. [3] A network of fine cracks, called craquelure, covers the entire painted surface. This craquelure is typical for old oil paintings, giving them their classic character. Our artists recreate this textured look on museum-grade linen canvas.

Every girl with a pearl earring reproduction we paint is crafted brushstroke-by-brushstroke. This hand-painted technique brings out the same deep contrast and soft peach skin tones of The Girl that Abraham Bredius first highly praised in 1885. [3] Johannes Vermeer was nicknamed the 'Sphinx of Delft' because very little is known about his life. [1]

Questions about Girl with a Pearl Earring

Answered for this painting, not for Johannes Vermeer in general.
How much of Girl with a Pearl Earring is true?

We know very little about the sitter. A popular theory suggests that Johannes Vermeer used his eldest daughter Maria as the model when she was thirteen. [1] Additionally, scientists have debated the nature of the jewelry itself. One astrophysicist argued that the giant earring is made of polished tin rather than actual pearl. [2] Recent research from 2018 also revealed that the dark background was not always flat. The artist originally painted diagonal green curtain folds using a translucent glaze over lead white. [2]

Where is the original Girl with a Pearl Earring kept today?

The original masterpiece resides in the city palace on the Plein in The Hague. [5] It has a fascinating history of ownership before arriving there. The painting went through the Dissius sale in Amsterdam on 16 May 1696. [6] Later, Arnoldus Andries des Tombe bought the work at auction in The Hague for only two guilders and thirty cents. [1] Upon his death, he bequeathed twelve paintings to the Mauritshuis museum. [3] A major 1994 restoration at the museum revived its color subtleties and intensified the girl's mysterious gaze. [2]

What details will your artists recreate from Johannes Vermeer's brushwork?

Our artists focus on the smooth transitions of tone across her skin. They recreate the broader, distinct brushstrokes on her clothing and blue turban. You will see the tiny white highlights on her lower lip that indicate moisture. Our painters also capture the glance-like white reflections in her eyes. To finish, they replicate the fine network of cracks across the canvas surface.

How long does it take to receive my Johannes Vermeer painting?

Your Girl with a Pearl Earring reproduction takes 2–5 weeks to hand-paint depending on size and detail. Once approved, shipping takes 5–8 days via FedEx, UPS, or DHL with full tracking. Free worldwide shipping included.

Absolutely. Once your Girl with a Pearl Earring is complete, we send you unedited photos, a full view and close-up details. Request unlimited free revisions until you're 100% satisfied. We don't ship until you say "yes."
