The popularity of Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer is multiplied by its countless reproductions. In this brochure for Colimycine and penicillin for infection treatment, this figure stands out: who is this veiled, sickly woman? The hefty precious stone she dons is represented by its reflected light, and for the pharmacy it becomes a pledge to the efficacity of therapeutic treatment. A magnetic figure, the Girl with a Pearl submits to the process of merchandising without losing her allure.
