A Girl with a Pearl Earring

The girl in the famous canvas by Jan Vermeer is just a servant, whom he decided to capture for centuries. In those days, ordinary women were not painted, but the famous artist was so inspired by the image of a girl with an earring that he took a kind of risk. In those days, women covered their hair. It is believed that instead of a bonnet, an ordinary bedspread has become a headdress. The artist took the earrings from his wife in secret.

The girl in the picture has a pale milky skin tone, barely noticeable eyebrows and brown eyes. Her lips have a delicate shade of ripe strawberries. The girl's gaze is directed at the viewer, and it looks very realistic. There are different legends around the relationship between the maid and Jan. But one thing is clear: to create such a plot of a picture, he had to have talent.

Jan Vermeer created all the paintings using a pinhole camera. This device made it possible to look at what was happening around from a different angle. The artist used the most expensive paints, and painted each picture for six months. There is also a guess that the painting depicts the daughter of Vermeer. But no one still knows exactly who became the prototype of the girl with the pearl earring.
