Girl with a Pearl Earring – Johannes Vermeer – Paint by Numbers£47.00
Embroider or color Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. Discover how to create the 'Mona Lisa of the North' yourself as a cross-stitch kit or Paint by Numbers.
TL;DR: You can create your own Vermeer Girl with a Pearl Earring in two ways: as a pre-printed cross-stitch kit or as a Paint by Number. Both bring the 'Mona Lisa of the North' to life step by step — no experience needed.
Around 1665, Johannes Vermeer painted a young girl looking over her shoulder, wearing a blue and yellow turban and a single gleaming pearl. No background, no story — just that direct, timeless gaze. It hangs in the Mauritshuis in The Hague and has become one of the most famous portraits in the world. Its very simplicity makes it so rewarding to recreate yourself.
The cross-stitch kit is pre-printed on 11CT canvas: the symbols and color numbers are already on the fabric, so you don't need to count. You embroider the warm skin tones, the deep ultramarine of the turban, and the soft light on her face — precisely those subtle transitions make the portrait so lifelike. Complete with premium eco-cotton thread, two needles, and a Dutch manual.
Sizes: from 20×30 cm to 80×100 cm. The most popular choice is 40×50 cm. Prefer a counted pattern on blank fabric? Then choose Counted Pattern under Type.
Prefer coloring to embroidering? With Paint by Number, you color the portrait section by section with numbered markers on premium canvas. Choose 24, 36, or 48 colors: for this portrait, we recommend 48 colors (Premium) so that the soft transitions in her face are beautifully rendered.

A self-made Girl with a Pearl Earring is a beloved gift for art lovers, Vermeer fans, and museum-goers — and a beautiful eye-catcher above a dresser or in the hallway.
As a pre-printed cross-stitch kit or as Paint by Number — choose what suits you.
Yes. The kit is pre-printed, so no counting is necessary. As a beginner, choose a smaller size (20×30 or 30×40 cm) and take your time with the facial tones.
For a portrait with soft transitions, we recommend 48 colors (Premium). 24 or 36 colors are also possible — the result will be slightly flatter.
40×50 cm is the most popular: large enough for detail and perfect for hanging on the wall. For a statement, choose 50×70 cm or larger.
Certainly — for art lovers and anyone who loves Vermeer. A self-made masterpiece is more personal than a poster.
Whether you embroider or paint: making your own Girl with a Pearl Earring allows you to experience one of the most beautiful portraits ever up close. Choose the technique that suits you and bring Vermeer's masterpiece to life step by step.
