''The Procuress'' (1656) is a notable oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Johannes Vermeer, also known as Jan Vermeer van Delft. This work is one of the few paintings securely attributed to Vermeer, a master renowned for his meticulous attention to light and detail. The painting depicts a scene of a young woman being procured by an older woman, while a man, possibly a client, engages with them, and another figure observes from the background. The subject matter is a departure from the serene domestic interiors for which Vermeer is best known, and it is one of his earliest genre works, offering a glimpse into the social mores and concerns of 17th-century Dutch society.

The composition is characterized by its bold use of color and light, with the figures arranged in a manner that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. The central figures are illuminated by a strong light source, highlighting the exchange taking place and the expressions on their faces. The painting is often noted for its realistic portrayal of textures and materials, from the luxurious garments to the glint of metal and glass.

"The Procuress" is also significant for its art historical context. It reflects the influence of the Utrecht Caravaggisti, Dutch artists who were inspired by the Italian painter Caravaggio and his use of chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting. The theme of procuring was a common one in Dutch genre painting of the time, allowing artists to explore moralistic and cautionary narratives under the guise of depicting everyday life.

Currently, "The Procuress" is housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany. It remains an important work for understanding Vermeer's early artistic development and the broader trends in Dutch painting during the 17th century. The painting has been studied extensively by art historians and is often included in discussions of Vermeer's oeuvre, contributing to the ongoing fascination with the artist's limited but extraordinary body of work.
