"Tennis Girl with a Pearl Earring" is a twist on Girl with a Pearl Earring (c. 1665), the masterpiece by Johannes Vermeer often nicknamed "the Mona Lisa of the North".

Terry headband on her forehead, wristband on, wooden racket in hand: Vermeer's girl becomes a tennis player. The blue and yellow turban, the glance over the shoulder, the soft light so characteristic of the Delft painter and, of course, the pearl are all still there.

A tribute to the Dutch master, where the grace of painting meets the elegance of tennis.
