2022 Niue $1 1-oz Silver Girl With A Pearl Earring Colorized Proof

The “Mona Lisa Of The North”

Painted by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer in 1665, the Girl With A Pearl Earring is hailed as the “Mona Lisa of the North” by art connoisseurs. One of the most reproduced masterpieces in the history of art, the painting is intriguing not because of the beautiful pearl earring but also the mysterious young girl presented in it. The painting depicts a 16-year-old maid named Griet, who worked in Vermeer’s home. Vermeer was reported to have painted Griet’s portrait because he was attracted to her calm and perceptive manner while performing her duties. The work has been in the collection of the Mauritshuis in The Hague since 1902.

Captivating Masterpiece Reproduced Through Digital Printing

Vermeer’s masterpiece has inspired several literary and cinematic treatments, including Tracy Chevalier’s 1999 historical novel Girl With a Pearl Earring and a 2003 film based on the novel. Now her captivating and serene expression is reproduced here on the third the latest release in the Treasures of the World Painting series. Struck by the prestigious Mint of Poland in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the famous painting was recreated on this 40 mm x 40 mm coin through digital printing.
