Oil on canvas, 44.5 × 39 cm, painted by Johannes Vermeer around 1665. It was
never meant as a portrait. It is a tronie, a Dutch and Flemish genre of head
studies showing a type rather than a named sitter, painted as an exercise. The
girl turns over her shoulder to look at the viewer, in a blue and yellow
turban, with a single pearl hanging from her ear. It is kept at the Mauritshuis
in The Hague.
