Abstract

Christina An and Menno Fitski write about the jar in Vermeer's painting of Woman with a Pearl Necklace (Gemäldegalerie, Berlin). Whereas it was previously believed to have been painted after a Chinese example, they identify a Japanese prototype and describe the trade relations with Delft.
