Girl with a Flute Girl with a Flute Girl with a Flute is a small painting attributed to the Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer, executed 1665–1670. The work is in possession of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., just as "Woman Holding a Balance", "A Lady Writing a Letter" and "Girl with a Red Hat" (also attributed to Vermeer). It is contested whether the painting can be attributed to Johannes Vermeer. Possibly another painter finished the painting after an initial start by Vermeer. The composition is comparable to "Girl with a Red Hat", the only other work Vermeer painted on panel.
