Dear Teachers, Librarians, Parents, and All Caregivers Pregnant at the time of researching and writing, she finished the work in eight months because she had a "biological deadline". Ĭhevalier's research included reading the history of the period, studying the paintings of Vermeer and his peers, and spending several days in Delft. She describes the girl's expression "to be a mass of contradictions: innocent yet experienced, joyous yet tearful, full of longing and yet full of loss." She began to think of "the story behind that look”, imagining it as directed at the painter. Chevalier noted that the "ambiguous look" on the girl's face left a lasting impression on her. She had bought the poster as a nineteen-year-old and it hung wherever she lived for sixteen years. Tracy Chevalier's inspiration for the novel was a poster of Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. In May 2020, BBC Radio 4 broadcast a new dramatisation of the novel. The novel was adapted into a 2003 film of the same name and a 2008 play. Chevalier presents a fictional account of Vermeer, the model and the painting. Set in 17th-century Delft, Holland, the novel was inspired by local painter Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. Girl with a Pearl Earring is a 1999 historical novel written by Tracy Chevalier.
