Artist: Johannes Vermeer
A quiet domestic interior by Johannes Vermeer, painted around 1664, in which a woman stands at a table holding a small balance at equilibrium, while a painting of the Last Judgment hangs behind her. This short tour looks at how the picture's composition, light and objects support a reading of inner balance and conscience.

A visitor's guide to Vermeer's small painting of a man seated alone with a celestial globe and an open book, made in the Dutch Golden Age. The article follows what the supplied record establishes about the subject, its genre and its long movement through ownership, without guessing what the picture's sources do not say.

A man looks up from his maps. Vermeer paints the moment a geographer pauses to think, in a study filled with the tools of Dutch cartography.
Artist: Johannes Vermeer
A young woman turns her head over her shoulder toward us, a blue turban wrapped above her brow and a large pearl hanging below her ear. Vermeer painted her around 1665, and the picture belongs to a category the Dutch called a tronie: a study of a head and costume rather than a portrait of a named person. This short visit looks at how the turn, the clothing and the handling of light shape that encounter.
