Girl with a pearl headdress
I've been unable to find details about this painting, except that it is entitled "Girl with a Pearl Headdress" and is attributed to the "Central European School" in 1625-1635.
My train of thought on seeing this was to wonder what this girl would think were she to be transported to our modern world and be taken for a visit to our local Target store, where girls of a similar age consider themselves fully dressed while wearing millimeter-thick leggings topped by a Green Bay Packers t-shirt.
Would she be... shocked? Or jealous of their freedom? Or... would our local tweens be jealous of her?

I don't know, but she'd probably fit right in if she wore that pearl headdress to a Packer's game.
ReplyDeleteThat stiff, lacy collar is a bit useless and she would probably overheat in the warmer months.
ReplyDeleteShe would perhaps wonder why her peers were cross-dressing in weird old clothing.
