Portrait of a Young Woman
1665 · oil on canvas
Dimensions (40 x 44.5 cm)
Collection: Art Whisperer
The Study of a Young Woman was painted around the same time as the better-known Girl with a Pearl Earring, and has a near-identical size. Because of this, and its proximity in tone and composition, it is sometimes considered to be either a variant or pendant painting (counterpart) of Girl with a Pearl Earring. The subjects of both paintings wear pearl earrings, have scarves draped over their shoulders, and are shown in front of a plain black background.
