An expressive oil painting study of Vermeer’s iconic figure, focusing on the mystery of her turned gaze, the luminous headscarf, and the single pearl that catches the light.

“After Vermeer – Woman with Pearl (Copy)” is an oil painting created as a tribute to the timeless allure of Vermeer’s famous girl in profile. The artist reinterprets the subject with bold, modern brushstrokes and rich, saturated colours, giving fresh energy to the familiar pose. The warm ochres of the draped fabric and the cool blues of the headscarf play against a deep, dark background, drawing attention to the delicate glint of the pearl. This copy honours the quiet intimacy and mystery of the original while clearly revealing the hand, style, and personal interpretation of a contemporary painter.
