Corn with a Pearl Earring

Corn with a Pearl Earring

From artist Nanan Kang, Corn with a Pearl Earring. I have a bit of a thing for riffs on Vermeer's masterpiece. See also Girl with a Pearl Earring and Point-and-Shoot Camera, The Girl with the Grande Iced Latte, Rihanna with a Pearl Earring, Girl with a Pearl Earring at the beach, and a Lego version of the painting. (via colossal)

Update: This is fun (courtesy of @jschulenklopper):

In Dutch (Vermeer's native language) this one is even better. The original painting is called "Meisje met de parel" in Dutch, and corn is "mais". So this one could be named "Maisje met de parel" which is pronounced almost identically.
