The Girl With The Pearl Earring Poem by David Wood

There is much more to many things than the eye can superficially behold! The picture of the model before an artist is beautifully drawn! !

It's a beautiful painting and a captivating story, and you have interpreted it very well here David. Good job.

It reminds me of that song, Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile. Descriptive.

Dear`David It takes a real poet to interpret one form on art to another, you are able to look at her soul and draw out her fears...yet she knew this forbidden love will immortalize her for eternity, you have a keen eye at looking from within A painting within a painting, from the brush of a true artist Truly Paul (Leaking Pen)

beautiful sketch by a poet

I have no idea about Art and paintings, but here the poet portrays an inner dilemma that crosses the model's mind.I think, any one chosen as a model must be knowing that her beauty is appreciated by the Artist.

You create a romantic background here, while the naked truth was the other way round, but great applause for your impressive details.5 Stars TOP Score

Using his own maid-servants is the cheapest way to to, all paintings were done in the attich of the beautiful small home where Vermeer resided with his family

Johannes Vermeer only paints for his living and by him alone. He has unlike Rembrandt no students who learned the painting technique, so he painted himself and his paintings are all small.

This after many decades reminds me of one with a Diamond necklace in the TITANIC
