Highlights from the discussion

Is she turning toward us or away? I have looked at this a hundred times and I still cannot decide. I think that is the whole painting.

The earring is two brushstrokes. Two. I paint as a hobby and this fact keeps me humble.

Samuel Ortiz · ♥ 3 · on Girl with a Pearl Earring →

This ambiguity is exactly why she gets called the Mona Lisa of the North. Two paintings, same trick — a face that will not resolve.

Mei-Lin Chen · on Girl with a Pearl Earring →

Toward. The lips are just parting, like she is about to say something. Ask me tomorrow and I will say away.
