Young Woman with a Water Pitcher
Johannes Vermeer painted this quiet interior around 1662. A young woman stands between a window and a table, touching a water pitcher while daylight moves across her white head covering, blue dress, and the room’s pale surfaces. The Met records the work as oil on canvas from the Marquand Collection, Gift of Henry G. Marquand, 1889.

Ideas for use · AtriTrove editorial suggestions
Use the painting to study directional light, restrained color, or how everyday gestures can organize a scene. Compare the bright head covering with the blue garment and darker map, or sketch the major light and shadow shapes without copying details. If you crop the window, pitcher, or figure for analysis, label the crop and retain a link to the complete work.
