The guitar player by Jan Vermeer (Large Print)
by Rnib BookshareThis is an image of a painting of an attractive young lady who is seated and playing a guitar. It was painted in 1672. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The chair and her legs are not shown. The original painting is a beautiful old oil master with rich colours and subtle tones. Moving down the page from the title in the top left is a thick line border all around the image to define the edge of the painting. In the top left of the image is an old oil painting of a tree hanging on the wall. It is a painting within a painting. It is in a heavy gold frame with ornate decorations. The decorations glow in the light from a window. The rounded leafy parts of the top of the tree are at the top and the trunk is down from this. Down from the picture is the lady's head. She has a pretty face with rosy cheeks and hair in attractive ringlets on each side of her head. Both eyes and the nose and smiley mouth can be found. Down from her face is a pearl necklace around her neck. The necklace is shining in the light from the window. Moving down from the necklace are her shoulders and chest. She is wearing a yellow silk dress which has a large ermine fur collar and fur trimmings down the centre of her chest where it is fastened. On the left of her chest is her arm with some more fur at the bent elbow. Her lower arm, moving to the right, is bare skin. To the right of her lower arm is her hand with the fingers splayed. She is playing a guitar. To the right of her hand are the strings, follow them to the right and up slightly along the fingerboard. Halfway along is the lady's other hand, only four fingers can be found as her thumb is hidden. At the end of the fingerboard there are six tuning pegs in two rows of three. They stick up towards you not out sideways. Below the guitar is the rest of her very full dress. It has two more strips of ermine fur to the left and right. In the bottom right corner of the picture is a small cabinet made from dark varnished wood with a large leather bound book resting on it. It is the sort with gilt embossed lettering. It is seen from the end with the spine on the left and the pages to the right. In the top right corner hangs a heavy velvet curtain in front of a window, which is not seen. It is from here the light comes and plays on the gold frame of the picture on the wall and the lady's pearl necklace.
