1665–1669 painting by Johannes Vermeer / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Girl with a Red Hat is a small painting (9 1/8 x 7 1/8") by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. Painted in 1669, it is seen as one of a number of Vermeer's tronies – depictions of models fancifully dressed that were not (as far as is known) intended to be portraits of specific, identifiable subjects. Its attribution to Vermeer – as it is on a recycled wood panel and not on canvas – has been a matter of controversy with scholars on both sides of the argument. However, in recent study carried out by the curators such as Arthur Wheelock and Walter Leidtke of National Gallery of Art, certainty has been established on the authorship of the painting by Vermeer. The painting is on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. [1]
