1675 (ca.), Johannes Vermeer (?), Girl with a Flute -- Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) (special exhibition)

Personal high-resolution, color-accurate photograph taken at the 2023 exhibition "Vermeer" at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, which displayed most of Vermeer's paintings.

 

From the museum label at the National Gallery of Art, Washington: A young woman gazes out from beneath the shadow of her large, striped hat. Her pose, expression, clothing, and surroundings resemble those seen in paintings by Johannes Vermeer. In 2020 - 2021, however, a team of National Gallery of Art researchers - curators, conservators, and scientists - determined that Vermeer did not paint Girl with a Flute. The artist who created this work was intimately familiar with Vermeer's materials and techniques but was unable to match his delicate brushwork. Who, exactly, might have painted this engaging work remains an open question.
