After Vermeer, Girl with a Red Hat
|
|
Girl with a Red Hat is a small painting by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, executed 1665-1666, currently in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.. It is one of a number of Vermeer's tronies -- depictions of models fancifully dressed that were not, as far as is known, intended to be portraits of specific, identifiable subjects. After many years admiring this painting, I finally tried my hand at a reproduction; I am pleased with the result. The major effort was to translate a painting that is about 7' x 9' into 20' x 24'.
