Default Girl with a Pearl earring



I've always loved this picture, but never knew the artist.

It is a painting by 17th century Dutch painter, Johannes Vermeer. It's on display at The Hague, in The Netherlands.

I love the simple beauty of this portrait would a woman wearing nothing but a head scarf, pearl earrings and the translucent beauty of her facial features (her eyes, her mouth, the aura about her).

Here's a link to learn more about the artist and the painting:
