Who was Verspronck’s ‘Girl in Blue’? In-depth research leads to nothing. ‘Fascination and frustration go hand in hand’

Johannes Verspronck’s famous painting "Girl in Blue" will be displayed at the Frans Hals Museum from March 12 to October 11 alongside portraits of her likely parents. Although the artwork is a celebrated piece from the Rijksmuseum, extensive research into the specific identity of the girl remains inconclusive.
