Description: Tracy Chevalier's captivating historical novel inspired by Vermeer's famous painting. Set in 17th-century Delft, the story follows Griet, a young servant girl who becomes part of Johannes Vermeer's household and ultimately the subject of one of his most celebrated works. Chevalier brings to life the world of Dutch Golden Age painting, exploring the relationship between artist and muse, the role of women in society, and the power of art to transcend social boundaries. A beautifully crafted tale of art, passion, and the price of beauty.
