Formerly part of the famous Beit collection and now held in the prestigious Leiden Collection, A Young Woman Seated at the Virginals is unique as the only painting by Johannes Vermeer remaining in private hands. Executed on canvas cut from the exact same bolt of linen as Vermeer’s The Lacemaker (Musée du Louvre), this charming small-format interior work was created in Delft around 1670–1672. Dressed in a crisp white gown with a brilliant yellow shawl wrapped draped over her shoulders, the young musician turns directly toward the viewer with a warm, lively expression. Natural morning daylight filters from the left, illuminating her face, curled hair, and the wooden case of the virginal. Vermeer captures the quiet joy of musical pastime with delicate glazes and refined spatial balance.
