Puzzle Description:

Vermeer's The Girl with the Pearl Earring (1665). I hope you can actually make out her earring!

You definitely need color logic, and you need to use a bit of edge logic with the 7 on the far left. Other than that, the helper solved it pretty easily. Enjoy!

...actually, I was almost finished when one of the twins walked in and exclaimed, "Oh, it's the girl with the pearl earring!" Lol...up to then I was thinking it was a Spanish lady, but as soon as she said that it was so obvious I felt silly I hadn't figured it out for myself. Kids!

Yes, I can make out he earring. I know where it should be, and I can see the bright part in front, with the back part in shadow. Nicely done.

Very interesting and fun! Wish the server was saving so I could come back to this one. 2017 - I did come back and did it again from scratch. Still a nice solve.
