Jeune femme à l'aiguière

ca. 1662
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 614
Ce tableau bien conservé du début des années 1660 est typique des années de maturité de Vermeer. Au-delà des effets d’optique qui lui étaient si chers, l’ artiste a su harmoniser couleurs primaires et formes simples grâce à des études minutieuses, quitte à faire quelques ajustements à l’exécution. La composition sert bien le thème de la quiétude domestique, discrètement évoquée par le broc et la cuvette, symboles traditionnels de pureté. Cette toile est le premier des treize tableaux de Vermeer entrés aux États-Unis entre 1887 et 1919.
