The painting depicts a young girl in profile, her attention captured by the iridescent eye of a peacock feather held in her hands. Maris employs a restrained palette, dominated by deep browns, ochres, and muted greens, which allows the subtle light on the subject's face and the singular, bright colour of the feather to emerge from the shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is quiet and contemplative. Maris uses soft, blended brushwork to model the girl's features, creating a sense of stillness. The background is dark and indistinct, a characteristic choice for the artist, who often prioritised mood and light quality over precise environmental detail. The surface of the original canvas shows a network of craquelure, which is preserved in this museum-grade reproduction to maintain the integrity of the historical object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Maris is frequently associated with his atmospheric cityscapes and coastal scenes, his figure studies reveal a similar sensitivity to light. The girl's expression is one of focused curiosity, a fleeting moment captured with technical precision. The inclusion of the peacock feather, an object often associated with vanity or exoticism in nineteenth-century art, here functions as a simple, tactile element that anchors the girl's gaze. This work demonstrates the artist's ability to imbue a small-scale portrait with a sense of gravity and presence, typical of the Dutch realist tradition that influenced his development. The print captures the depth of the original oil paint, ensuring that the subtle transitions between shadow and light remain visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/miss-mary-linwood-john-hoppner\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMiss Mary Linwood - John Hoppner — John Hoppner\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacob Maris","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58579861340495,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58579874709839,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58579874742607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58579874775375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58579874808143,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58579874840911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58579874873679,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58579874906447,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58579874939215,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58579874971983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58579875004751,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58579875037519,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Meisje-met-pauwenveer_Poster_CompositorV1_1787838853495.jpg?v=1787839093","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/meisje-met-pauwenveer-jacob-maris","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
