Girl with a pearl earring. The title of Johannes Vermeer’s painting feels like a secret code. It unequivocally lifts the veils on the most significant element of the image, but at the same time leaves us lost in thoughts, wondering about the girl.
Let’s imagine her without accessories, let’s imagine Girl without a pearl earring. This ironically gives us a direct hint on the fact that the ‘accents’ placed by the artist in his work call for more profound discussion. Do the pearl and the turban emphasize the status of the girl? Or on the contrary, was she a simple servant whom Vermeer dressed up to create the illusion of luxury?
I can only be sure about one thing: pearls are extracted at depth and the girl’s eyes reflect this depth.
