About this work

Artist: Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675)
Year: c. 1669
Medium: Oil on panel
Original size: 22.8 × 18 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC
Movement: Dutch Golden Age

A young woman turns in her chair, lips parted, under a wide hat of feathery scarlet, a royal-blue robe over a white collar and pearl drops at her ears. Behind her is a tapestry; in front, the carved lion-head finials of the chair catch points of light. At just 23 by 18 centimetres it is one of Vermeer's smallest works, and it is painted on a reused wooden panel rather than his usual canvas, which for years fuelled doubt about the attribution. A technical study by the National Gallery of Art before its 2022 exhibition Vermeer's Secrets settled the question in Vermeer's favour and found that he began the panel as a portrait of a man in a wide-brimmed hat. It is a tronie, a study of a type rather than a named sitter, dated about 1669. Andrew Mellon bought it in 1925 and it entered the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1937.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Girl with the Red Hat in the public domain?

Yes. Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Girl with the Red Hat painted, and in what medium?

Girl with the Red Hat dates from c. 1669 and was made in oil on panel; the original measures 22.8 × 18 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
