Woman with a Pearl Necklace Woman with a Pearl Necklace Woman with a Pearl Necklace by Johannes Vermeer is a seventeenth-century Northern European painting. Painted in oils on canvas, Johannes Vermeer portrayed a young Dutch woman, most likely of upper-class-descent, dressing herself with two yellow ribbons, pearl earrings, and a pearl necklace. As a very popular artist of the 17th century, the Dutch Golden Age, Vermeer depicted many women in similar circumstances within interior, domestic scenes. The same woman also appears in "The Love Letter" and "A Lady Writing a Letter". Johannes Vermeer (1632- 1675) of Delft was one of Netherlands' most prominent Dutch painters.
