The Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer is considered one of the greatest mysteries of 17th-century art, having created exactly 35 works. His biographical details are scant, taken from a few court transcripts. However, Vermeer's remarkable depictions of everyday life, characterized by their nuanced use of light and texture, have come to epitomize the Dutch golden era. Tracy Chevalier's second book of the same name centers on this captivating artwork, which has captivated people for centuries: the nameless Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Pearl-wielding girl The focus of Earring is Vermeer's affluent Delft home in the 1660s. Unrest ensues when Griet, the book's observant and subdued heroine, gets employed as a servant. The 16-year-old narrator first gets closer and closer to her master. Griet eventually works with Vermeer as a model when he hires her as his assistant.
