Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 17.5 × 15.7 in print therefore arrives as 19.9 × 18.1 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 24 × 21.6 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Vermeer's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 44.5 × 40 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

The Portrait of a Young Woman, painted around 1667/68 by Johannes Vermeer, is an enigmatic and intimate glimpse into the Dutch Golden Age. This work, residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates Vermeer’s unparalleled ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a delicate and almost otherworldly grace.

The young woman’s face is lit with a gentle luminescence that contrasts starkly with the dark, impenetrable background. Her expression is subtle and ambiguous, exuding a sense of serene introspection. The slightly upturned corners of her mouth suggest a knowing smile, yet there is a depth in her eyes that hints at a myriad of untold stories.

Vermeer’s use of light and shadow is masterful. The soft, diffused light caresses her smooth, pale skin, creating a sense of roundness and three-dimensionality. The delicate play of light on her forehead and cheeks is exquisite, highlighting her delicate features and drawing the viewer's gaze to her serene, contemplative eyes.

Her attire, a loosely draped mantle in silvery blue, is rendered with Vermeer’s characteristic attention to detail and texture. The folds and shadows in the fabric are meticulously painted, adding a tactile quality that invites the viewer to reach out and touch the luxurious material.

The composition is simple yet profoundly effective. The young woman is placed slightly off-center, her gaze directed towards the viewer, creating an intimate connection. This painting is a testament to Vermeer’s genius in capturing the subtle nuances of human expression and the transient effects of light, leaving us with a timeless portrayal of quiet elegance and introspection.
