Lady Standing at a Virginal is an oil on canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer, made around 1670 to 1672 and measuring 51.7 by 45.2 centimeters. It depicts a richly dressed woman playing a virginal in a domestic interior with a tiled floor, paintings on the wall and Delftware tiles, and appears to form a pair with Vermeer's similarly sized Lady Seated at a Virginal. Technical study has found that its canvas was cut from the same bolt of fabric as its companion painting and shares an identical ground preparation with that work and with a third Vermeer now in New York. The painting is held by the National Gallery in London and appears, reproduced, within David Hockney's 1977 painting Looking at Pictures on a Screen.
