Painting Description
"Young Woman Standing at a Virginal" is a painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, also known as Jan Vermeer van Delft, created circa 1670–1672. This work is one of Vermeer's thematic explorations of music and domesticity, depicting a young woman playing a virginal, a type of keyboard instrument. The painting is a fine example of the artist's fascination with the effects of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to the details of texture and space.
The composition features the woman positioned in profile, absorbed in her music, with a viola da gamba resting against the table behind her, suggesting the possibility of a duet or the presence of another person in the room. The setting is a domestic interior, likely Vermeer's own house in Delft, as evidenced by the marble floor tiles and the window design, which appear in several of his works. The painting is rich with symbolic elements, including the landscape painting on the wall behind the virginal, which may allude to the theme of love or the outside world, and the mirror above the virginal, reflecting the woman's face and possibly signifying self-awareness or vanity.
"Young Woman Standing at a Virginal" is part of a series of musical-themed paintings by Vermeer and is often compared to another work, "Young Woman Seated at a Virginal." The painting's provenance includes ownership by Pieter van Ruijven, Vermeer's patron, and it has passed through various private collections. Today, it is held in the National Gallery, London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and the insight it provides into 17th-century Dutch culture and Vermeer's artistic vision.
As with many of Vermeer's paintings, "Young Woman Standing at a Virginal" has been the subject of extensive art historical research, examining its technique, iconography, and place within the artist's oeuvre. The painting's relatively small size, characteristic of Vermeer's works, belies its rich complexity and the artist's ability to convey profound narratives through seemingly simple domestic scenes.
