Studio di fanciulla

ca. 1665–67
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 614
Nel Seicento, dipinti come questo erano definiti tronie (volti) ed erano stimati per la raffigurazione di costumi insoliti, fisionomie interessanti, accenni alla personalità e dimostrazione di talento artistico. Anche se il pittore deve essersi servito di una modella dal vero, il suo obiettivo non era quello di creare un ritratto, quanto piuttosto uno studio del carattere e dell’espressione. I quadri olandesi di questo genere, come anche quelli di altri paesi europei, spesso presentano effetti pittorici, come la luce che colpisce tessuti preziosi, l’incarnato morbido o un orecchino di perla. Questo dipinto è forse uno dei tre quadri di Vermeer descritti in un’asta tenutasi ad Amsterdam nel 1696 come “Un ‘volto’ [tronie] in abito antico, straordinariamente ben fatto”.
