The other one is a gem: Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with the Red Hat”
C. 1669 oil on panel
National Gallery of Art, Washington, Andrew W. Mellon Collection
“Dressed in a lush blue robe, a young woman stares out at the viewer from beneath a broad, feathery, cherry-red beret. She seems to radiate energy-a feeling that stems as much from the vibrant color combinations as from the directness of her gaze. Her distinctive features may seem portraitlike, but the painting is a tronie: an informal head study modeled on a real person, yet primarily intended to study expression, texture, costume, and accessory. The unusual hat is a key part of what makes this painting a tronie. It served as a vehicle for Vermeer to contrast the shadow cast by its brim with the light glistening on the woman's moistened lips.”
I was very happy to be able to see it in person.
