Woman with a Pearl Necklace
Johannes Vermeer1662–1665

About this painting
A young woman in a yellow ermine-trimmed jacket stands before a mirror, fastening the ribbons of her pearl necklace. The wide blank expanse of wall between her and the mirror gives the painting an exceptional stillness, while a powder brush and table runner anchor the foreground.
