The background of the original looks black today due to ageing, but was originally something like emerald green if I remember correctly. Feel like that would have worked well here also.
“O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! **Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear;** Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows.”
– Romeo Montague
Why isn’t the background white? The high contrast of the pale skin tone and dark background in the painting, along with the extraordinary way light was captured, are the things that make it a masterpiece.
Gorgeous portrait her eyes are haunting
Wow, and if you’d like to see the original:

Love the photo!
Should’ve used a different background.
Nothing beats the original.
some of these comments are trainwrecks to read.
This is a beautiful photo.
I love it. The nuances of Black and black and blackness through color and texture. So simple. So beautiful.
Look at her pearl eyes!
Why is everyone referencing? I’m sure 99.9% of people on earth have seen Girl with a Pearl Earring.
While the concept is nice, I think the exposure it not quiet there.
Johannes Vermeer was a masters of lighting, while the composition mimics the the famous painting, the lighting is not 100% there.
Do we call this a “sample”? Is this a DEI thing? I’m confused? Does the artist or photographer have no original ideas? Why are people just “remixing” history instead of making their own iconic art? I do not support this image.
Genius!
This is cultural appropriation
Why they gotta make everything black in background and her clothes. Dumb art.
Similar to the original, just uglier.
can’t see much of her face ..i get the concept though
So so beautiful
Gorgeous! Her eyes shine like pearls
Absolutely beautiful! The light on her face is exquisite
I love this! Several people have commented on the background, but honestly I don’t have a problem with the background. I do think a different colored top, perhaps a dark blue or green would help the color composition.
🔥
What would she look like if she was asian tho?
This piece of “art” offers absolutely nothing of substance besides completely ripping off another piece of actual art. Looks like shit as well because you can barely see the model in the photo. I sure hope that Jenny Boot doesn’t quit her day job (unless it happens to be photography then she should definitely quit).
Poor oysters
Fantastic.
wow. she’s so beautiful
This is amazing. Beautiful.
This is amazing. Great work!
Beautiful photography!! 🥰😍
Stunning!
Real good take on the original.
❤️
Very nice. I like the low contrast of the background and the girl, it focuses your eyes on earring.
That lipstick looks gorgeous
This is stunning … great work!
What a wonderful image! The eyes, and the earring!
