Girl With a Pearl Earring
Jun 08, 2011
“Girl with a Pearl Earring” is Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece. It was painted in 1665. I made this marquetry with more than a dozen different species of wood veneers, including some dyed veneers. It was finished with mineral oil and varnish, then applied a layer of wax. the size is 6″x9″ (the actual picture). The eyes of the original picture are always gazing back at you, no matter what angle you are looking at her. I transferred this character to the woodwork successfully. Her eyes are alive.

Extremely nice! I have done a few marquetry projects, and I know just how difficult to get such realism. Thanks for sharing your work
