Johannes Vermeer’s The Wine Glass (ca. 1658–1660) captures an intimate domestic scene, characteristic of Vermeer’s focus on quiet, everyday moments. The painting depicts a finely dressed woman holding a wine glass, while a man stands beside her in conversation. Vermeer’s meticulous handling of light and attention to detail create a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the peaceful interior. This work reflects Vermeer’s mastery of capturing natural light and texture, qualities that distinguish his treatment of figures and spaces in Dutch Golden Age art.
