One prominent piece of clothing in this painting was probably derived from a Michael Sweerts portrait of a boy holding a nosegay.
One prominent piece of clothing in this painting was probably derived from a Michael Sweerts portrait of a boy holding a nosegay. Two pale pink flecks of paint create a highlight at the left corner of the main figure's mouth, as in the artist's Girl in a Red Hat. The title object is a creation of thick white impasto paint that reflects the light of the stark white (*) collar below it. The white collar is part of a yellow garment with uncharacteristically ill defined folds, while one salient piece of attire is constructed entirely of two broadly painted shapes of blue created using ultramarine; that object is the headgear worn by the primary figure. For 10 points, name this painting of a female subject wearing a blue and yellow turban along with the title ornament, a work of Jan Vermeer.
