Vermeer's Woman with a Balance
One of Vermeer's most beautiful paintings, in my opinion.
I love how it balances light and dark, the woman's peaceful countenance, the brilliant blue cloth, the warm shades of her jewelry box and her skirt, and the crisp white of her bonnet.
A print of this and a print of "Girl with a Pearl Earring", along with other Vermeers, decorate my walls.
Despite the themes of judgment and fate that are obvious in this painting (the "Last Judgment" painting on the wall, the "Justice"-type woman), whenever I see this painting I just get such a feeling of peace.
Ahhh....the beauty of a Vermeer!
