Girl With a Peal Earring

Her glance intriguing 
A simple pearl drop earring
Alabaster skin
Hair in a turban like wrap
Portrait of innocence

 Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer
 done in the 17 century. Movie
made in 2003 , starring Colin Firth.

Zzzzz Zzzzz May 26, 2011 at 4:22 AM Yes, a very famous painting by a great artist. Many experts think the girl could be Vermeer's daughter. Nicely penned poem. Good luck in the contest! Regards, Robert.

Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2011 at 10:15 PM Nicely done, Barbara, and you caught two art works at once with this: painting and movie. I recorded that show a long time ago but don't think I ever got around to watching it! It has to be good with Colin Firth in it!!
