The Gaze - Eyes from Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring - Poster

This tightly cropped image heightens that quiet intensity. The porcelain-like skin, deep pupils, and a whisper of Delft blue form a refined colour scheme well suited to peaceful décor common in UK homes. Fancy matching it with other classic pieces?
