The Girl with a Wine Glass
Johannes Vermeer1659–1662

About this painting
A young woman in a vivid red satin dress smiles directly at the viewer as a young man presses a glass of wine on her, while a second man slumps brooding at the table. The portrait on the wall has been identified as a likely image of an ancestor, lending the merry encounter a watchful, moralizing presence.
