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.
Christ and the Samaritan Woman J. Shaheen, a Notre Dame alum, was the donor for the project, which is owned by the university. The “Woman at the Well,” as it is often referred, is flanked by sculptures of the gospel writers Luke the Evangelist and John the Evangelist. "Christ and the Samaritan Woman" is a larger-than-life-size marble and bronze sculpture. Two bronze figures, Jesus and the Samaritan Woman, surround the marble well. The Christ figure looks upward, hand raised as if speaking. The woman holds a water jug and looks downcast. Meštrović also completed a smaller-scale version of the same piece, composed of plaster. It
