Girl with a pearl necklace

Anthonis van Dyck (1599 Antwerp - 1641 London) Artists Workshop.

Portrait of Margaret Lemon. Girl with a pearl necklace and flowers in her hair.

A girl with a pearl necklace and flowers in her hair is depicted in chest-length. Turned in profile,she is turned to the viewer in three quarters and with her thin fingers seems to indicate to a heart. Together with a necklace and flowers, it forms a symbolic chain of perishable beauty, purity, and soul aware of its fineness. This interrogative tension is present in her look. A mysterious and flickering background, the nature of the material - raise the topic to the sacred secrets of being. This is the eternity and relevance of great art.

The painting depicts Van Dycks mistress, whom he met after moving in 1632 to London. Van Dyck is a respected painter of Kings Charles I royal court. The artist made several portraits of Margret Lemon with slight differences. This artwork was in a private collection for a long time.
