ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Girl With a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier tells the story of Griet, a young Protestant girl in 17th-century Delft who is forced to become a maid in the household of the renowned painter Johannes Vermeer. Initially tasked with domestic duties, Griet's quiet nature and keen eye for color draw the attention of the artist. She becomes increasingly involved in the secretive world of his studio, assisting him with the preparation of paints and the maintenance of his artistic space. As Griet and Vermeer work in close proximity, a subtle and complex relationship develops, marked by unspoken understanding and the tensions of class and circumstance. The novel explores themes of art, beauty, social hierarchy, and the intimate connection between a painter and his muse.
