This is a copy of Vermeer’s famous Girl with a Pearl Earring that I did last year. It’s slightly smaller than the original and unlike Vermeer’s which was done with an underpainting and 2 or 3 more layers on top this is done in one layer only over a white untoned board.
It was painted wet in wet alla-prima with no solvents (walnut oil as a medium). No one can approach painting like vermeer, but it was good practice and now sits on my wall.

Here is a higher resolution image, and the painting in a frame.

January 18, 2019 at 12:25 am #764596Very well done, sir!!
Vermeer is a favorite of mine, and you copied him quite well!
January 18, 2019 at 3:07 am #764588Thank you all
January 18, 2019 at 3:55 am #764583Maybe the technique is not Vermeer’s technique, the expression of the face is spot on. And such thing I’ve never seen in a copy of this painting.
Excellent work!
