Considered until very recently to represent a woman weighing pearls, this painting in reality shows a woman holding an empty balance. As the woman stands before a representation of The Last Judgment, it looks as if the woman is meditating upon spiritual matters.


Visitors Comments on Woman Weighing Pearls by Vermeer

I love the lighting in this picture, looks so natural; the technique is so great that it almost goes unnoticed...this is definitely one of Vermeer’s key strengths.

Thanks for sharing this amazing painting!
