Girl with the pearl earring is a painting from around 1665-1667 by Dutch master Johannes Vermeer. It has become his most popular painting.
The painting is not a portrait, but a tronie, a fantasy head. The depicted girl wears a blue turban with a yellow, falling down cloth.
The head covering contrasts with the brownish-yellow jacket with the white collar. Eye-catching is the 'pearl' which is not a pearl; a grand creation of glints and shadows and ragged edges.
Until 1995, the painting was known as Girl with turban.
Here, a digitally edited version with a deep black background and the woman rendered in low-poly, in triangles. Even the eyelashes are still visible this way, giving a modern take on an old, vintage painting.
