Officer and Laughing Girl

Genre Scenes

Officer and Laughing Girl is an oil on canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Johannes Vermeer, made around 1657 and measuring about 50.5 by 46 centimeters. It shows an interior scene with a woman in a yellow dress and blue apron seated at a table, holding a wine glass and lit by soft light, opposite a military officer in a red coat wearing an expensive beaver-pelt hat; a map hangs on the wall behind them. The painting belongs to the Frick Collection in New York, where it is displayed alongside two other Vermeer paintings, Girl Interrupted at Her Music and Mistress and Maid.
