Jan Vermeer - A Young Woman seated at a Virginal, 1670-2, 51.5 x 45.5 cm. The young woman seems to look at us as we enter the room, but keeps on playing the virginal (a keyboard instrument similar to a harpsichord). Propped against the virginal in the left foreground is a viola da gamba with the bow placed in between the strings. The virginal has a landscape painted on the inside of the lid, and the painting in the background is The Procuress by Dirck van Baburen. A tapestry frames the scene at the upper left, and the skirting in the lower right is decorated with Delft tiles.
