Woman with a Water Jug

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Woman with a Water Jug is a painting finished between 1660-1662 by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. It is oil on canvas, 45,7cm x 40,6 cm, and is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

This painting is one of a closely related group painted in the early to mid 1660's where the artist appears to be moving away from an emphasis on linear perspective and geometric order. He seems to be moving to a simpler form using only one figure and emphasizing the use of light.
