Painting Description
"Lady Standing at a Virginal" is a notable example of 17th-century Dutch genre art, crafted by the acclaimed painter, Jan Vermeer van Delft, around 1670. This painting falls into the category of single-figure compositions, exhibiting Vermeer's mastery at evoking a mood through the careful construction of domestic interiors. The work is predominantly oil on canvas and measures approximately 51.7 cm by 45.2 cm.
In the painting, Vermeer portrays a well-dressed woman playing a virginal, a form of early keyboard instrument popular in the Netherlands during this period. The presence of the virginal likely references the traditional association of music with love and courtship in 16th and 17th-century Dutch society. The painting is set within Vermeer's characteristically domestic and well-illuminated setting, with a light source illuminating from the left side.
"Lady Standing at a Virginal" features signature elements synonymous with Vermeer's artwork: meticulous craftsmanship, delicate rendering of light, and the intrinsic sense of tranquility. Pictorial techniques such as the mirror reflection on the wall behind the musician is of particular interest. The mirror in European art often symbolizes vanity, Earthly corruption, or conversely, in Vermeer's case, it could be mirroring the world outside of the painting's view as well.
The artwork has an illustrious provenance history, being part of various renowned collections. As of the present day, it is held in the National Gallery, London. Its depiction of a woman in an intimate, everyday setting is reflective of Vermeer's recurrent thematic interests, contributing to our understanding of societal life and gender roles in 17th-century Delft.
