The Girl with the Wine Glass (Dame en twee heren) is an oil on canvas painting by Johannes Vermeer, created c. 1659–1660, now in the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, in Braunschweig.

Painting materials[edit]

The pigment analysis done by Hermann Kühn[1] shows Vermeer's use of the expensive natural ultramarine in the tablecloth, lead-tin-yellow in the oranges on the table and madder lake and vermilion in the skirt of the woman.[2]
