A single eye, enlarged until the painting turns almost abstract: the dark iris and pupil merge into one round shape, lit by a bright white highlight, under a softly shadowed lid. On the left, the dark background cuts into the edge of the face, and every crack in the paint becomes visible.
In 2018, the Mauritshuis examined the painting with scanners and microscopes. The researchers found tiny eyelashes around the eyes, invisible to the naked eye, and traces of a green curtain behind the girl: the background, black today, was not always empty. Read more in the true story of Vermeer's masterpiece, and see the other details in our Girl with a Pearl Earring posters.

Printed on thick matte paper, it comes unframed or framed in black metal, white oak, natural oak or black oak: you only pay for the print and its frame, the framing work is free.
