The story of Young Woman with a Water Pitcher
Painted around 1662, the picture shows Vermeer's mature manner: cool daylight, a narrow range of blues and yellows, and a single figure caught in a quiet domestic moment. Henry G. Marquand bought it in Paris in 1887 and gave it to the Metropolitan Museum in 1889. It was the first Vermeer to enter an American collection.

Johannes Vermeer
Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. He is considered one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. During his lifetime, he was a moderately successful provincial genre painter, recognized in Delft and The Hague. He produced relatively few paintings, primarily earning his living as an art dealer. He was not wealthy; at his death, his wife was left in debt.
