Girl with Pearl Earring is a head and should portrait, made with Graphite pencils, on paper. All hanging hardware is included. The materials used are professional quality. Inspired by Johannes Vermeer's beautiful young lady, which is haunting visually and psychologically, The Girl with Pearl Earring. I felt very comfortable working with a pencil in my hand, the ease in which the marks flow from hand to paper becomes one in expressing my interpretation of this mysterious and alluring portrait.
