Girl with a Pearl Earring is a painting by Johannes Vermeer completed around 1665. The painting depicts a young woman, who is often described as a "Dutch Mona Lisa," wearing a large pearl earring and a turban. The painting is notable for its use of light and shadow, as well as its vivid colour palette and sense of intimacy.

The painting has been interpreted in many ways over the years, with some seeing it as a portrait of a specific person, while others see it as a symbol of the beauty and mystery of women. The painting has also been praised for its technical mastery, with Vermeer using techniques such as sfumato (blurring) and chiaroscuro (light and shadow contrast) to create a sense of depth and realism.

Today, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is considered one of the masterpieces of Dutch Golden Age painting and a highlight of Vermeer's career. It has been widely reproduced and referenced in art, literature, and popular culture, and is seen as a symbol of Dutch art and culture. The painting is also significant for its influence on subsequent generations of artists, who were inspired by Vermeer's innovative use of light and colour to create a new sense of realism in painting.
