The most famous glance in the history of painting, glowing upon a ground of Delft blue.
She has been turning her head for three and a half centuries, and she is still not finished with the effect. The Girl with a Pearl arrives on a ground of deep Delft blue, her turban folded from the same lapis as the sky over her native Delft, the famous earring holding its little drop of light exactly where you remember it. She glances back over her shoulder the way secrets do: once, briefly, forever.
Vermeer understood what most of us take years to learn, that a quiet room with one good window is more dramatic than any thunderstorm. This plate brings that hush to your wall: give it pale plaster, a linen curtain, morning light, and let her do the looking. She is excellent company for breakfast and better still at midnight.
Generous 10-inch fine ceramic with a high-gloss glaze. For the friend who owns the novel, the film, and now the plate.
Part of the The Masterpiece Collection of old master portrait plates.
Beauty is everywhere.
