Girl With a Pearl Earring Tapestry Wall Hanging 61 x 150 cm

The Glance That Has Captivated the World for Four Centuries

The Printworks Girl With a Pearl Earring Tapestry brings Johannes Vermeer’s most celebrated portrait into your home as a woven textile wall hanging with genuine depth and presence. Measuring 61 x 150 cm (24" x 59"), it reproduces the painting’s extraordinary qualities with care — the soft, raking light that catches the girl’s face, the luminous pearl suspended at her ear, the dark void of the background that makes the portrait feel both intimate and timeless. It is one of the most recognised images in Western art, and it earns its place on a wall in a way that few other pieces can.

This is a tapestry for rooms that take art seriously. It works in living rooms, studies and bedrooms where the intention is to create a space that feels considered and culturally alive. The woven textile surface adds texture and warmth that a flat print cannot replicate, and the portrait format — tall and narrow — suits alcoves, chimney breasts, and feature walls equally well. Available on a black or natural background, each colourway gives the painting a subtly different character while preserving the luminosity that makes Vermeer’s work so enduring.

Supplied With Velvet Hanging Rope

Each tapestry comes supplied with a velvet hanging rope, so it is ready to display from the moment it arrives. A wall hook is not included — a simple picture hook or a decorative hook in brass, matte black, or antique bronze works well and lets you choose a finish that suits your interior. The velvet rope adds a refined finishing touch that complements the classical character of the design.

How to Use

Fix a wall hook at your chosen height, then loop the velvet hanging rope over it to suspend the tapestry. Allow enough clear wall space above and below to let the full 150 cm length breathe. Smooth out any fold lines by hanging for 24 to 48 hours, or use a handheld steamer on a low setting held at a safe distance from the fabric. Spot clean only — do not machine wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this tapestry?
It measures 61 cm wide by 150 cm long (24" x 59"), making it a tall portrait-format wall hanging — fitting for a portrait painting. It suits narrow walls, alcoves, chimney breasts, and stairwells particularly well.

Does it come with everything I need to hang it?
It comes supplied with a velvet hanging rope. You will need to provide your own wall hook — a standard picture hook or a decorative hook in your preferred finish works perfectly.

What colourways are available?
The tapestry is available in two colourways: the Vermeer portrait on a black background, and the same image on a natural background. The black background intensifies the drama of the original painting’s dark void; the natural background gives it a warmer, softer quality.

What style of interior does this suit?
It works in classical, eclectic, gallery-inspired, and contemporary interiors alike. The Girl With a Pearl Earring is one of the few images that transcends decorating style — it reads as art rather than decoration, which means it elevates almost any room it enters. It pairs particularly well with rich textures, antique-style furnishings, and muted or jewel-toned colour palettes.

How do I remove creases from the tapestry?
Hang it and allow gravity to do the work over 24 to 48 hours. For stubborn fold lines, use a handheld steamer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle at a safe distance from the fabric surface.

Can I machine wash this tapestry?
No — spot clean only. Use a damp cloth with mild detergent on any affected area and allow to air dry fully before rehanging.
