Set in the Netherlands of the seventeenth century, it narrates the arrival of Griet, a sixteen-year-old girl, at the house of the painter Johannes Vermeer in Delft to take on domestic service. Her sensitivity to light and color attracts the artist's attention, who introduces her to his studio; the growing intimacy between them arouses jealousy and tension until it culminates in a scandal.
It belongs to the Nefelibata collection of Duomo Ediciones. Translation by Ignacio Gómez Calvo. Work originally published as «Girl with a Pearl Earring».
