Girl with a Pearl Earring Large Huge Resin Statement Brooch Pin Woman Face Hair

This Girl with a Pearl Earring (blowing bubbles) brooch/pin is a fun take on the artists painting. 2.5|"(6.35cm) x 2"(5.08cm) It was suggested that Vermeer’s painting is a “tronie“, meaning a painting made to demonstrate an artist’s ability in a specific register or type of depiction. Here, Vermeer thus shows us his talent in the depiction of beauty without artifice. Not only is the Girl With a Pearl Earring portrait enigmatic in its look, but it also had a rocky path since it was first made. Painted in 1665-66 for an unknown reason, the Girl With a Pearl Earring was then lost for more than 200 years! It was found again after having been sold for a few coins and cleaned. Since 1902, it rests quietly at the Mauritshuis in The Hague. Many studies are still done on this work, as researchers try to reveal all of its secrets. Maybe because, just like Mona Lisa, there is something truly intangible that makes this painting so special.
