Girl interrupted at her music 1661

Johannes Vermeer’s "Girl Interrupted at Her Music" (1661) captures a moment of domestic tranquility. The painting depicts two women, likely sisters, in an intimate interior setting. The woman in red, possibly a music student, is interrupted in her practice by a visitor, who gestures toward a sheet of music. Vermeer masterfully uses light to illuminate the scene, emphasizing the figures and their interaction, highlighting the quiet intimacy of the moment. This work, now housed in the Frick Collection in New York City, is a prime example of Vermeer's mastery of genre painting and his meticulous attention to detail.
