The Girl with the Wine Glass
Johannes Vermeer · 1650
Why it's great
A young woman in a red dress and a man at a table, with a wine glass, as she looks out at us with a smile. Johannes Vermeer painted it in about 1659, and the light from the stained-glass window is soft.

Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter born in Delft in 1632. He painted calm scenes of women in sunlit rooms, with pearls, maps, letters and music, and made fewer than 40 paintings that we know of. He died in 1675, and he was almost forgotten until the 1800s.
