SIGNED UNCORRECTED PROOF. Octavo, 247pp, Fine and unopened in the Publisher’s white Printed wrappers. SIGNED by Chevalier on the title page. Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier is a historical novel that imagines the story behind Johannes Vermeer's famous painting, focusing on the relationship between the painter and his young maid, Griet, in 17th-century Delft. The book explores themes of art, class, and forbidden attraction as Griet becomes Vermeer's assistant, leading to a tense, intimate connection that culminates in her sitting for the iconic portrait, causing scandal and jealousy within the household. The novel, published in 1999, became a bestseller and was adapted into a popular film in 2003 starring Scarlett Johansson & Colin Firth. Uncommon in proof form, especially so signed.
