Peter Webber's screen adaptation of Tracy Chevalier's novel looks
at the process behind creating one of the most famous portraits and
told from the sitter's viewpoint - namely Jan Vermeer's The Girl
With a Pearl Earring. Griet (Scarlett Johansson) is a young woman
who sets off from her family home in the countryside to work as a
servant for the Vermeer household in the burgh of Delft. To begin
with, she is very lowly in the servant ranks, but is then given
responsibility for cleaning the master of the house's painting
quarters. Master of the house, the unsociable Vermeer (Colin Firth)
is taken with Griet's looks and over some time paints her portrait.
This upsets his pregnant and jealous wife, Catharina (Essie Davis)
and his benefactor, van Ruijven (Tom Wilkinson), who likes to
decide what Vermeer should be painting. All the while, Griet is
forming her own special relationship with a peasant boy (Cillian
Murphy) of her own age.
