Girl with a pearl earring (Netherlands)

I think everyone in the US, at least, knows this painting! Perhaps they’ve seen the movie about its mysterious subject? But how many have actually been able to see the painting itself in person? I know at least two people who were able to do so - former students of mine - who visited the Mauritshuis in the Hague. They also rented bicycles and visiting tulip fields! What a delight!
