Johannes Vermeer - Woman Holding a Balance


       Woman Holding a Balance, completed 1662-1663, is an oil painting by Dutch baroque artist Johannes Vermeer. I like this picture because several interpretations could be made from the picture.  However, the theme of the picture is directly toward symbol of holiness and earthiness. I also like the vivid colors as well as the baroque composition of the picture.
