"Girl with a Pearl Earring" is a mysterious piece of work, displaying an imaginary subject. The painting was created by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer and is the most famous of his artwork.
In the oil painting, a woman in a dark setting looks over her shoulder. A large pearl earring dangles from the ear that faces an observer of the work, with a blue and gold turban nearly wrapped around her head. The subject of the painting wears a gold coat, with a white material peaking out at the top of her collar. Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital.
There isn't an exact date of creation that coincides with Vermeer's most famous work, though many historians believe that it was painted around 1665, according to Britannica.
