Girl with a pearl earring in mosaic
A tiled interpretation of Girl with a Pearl Earring, shown through eye details, partial facial sections, a complete bordered portrait and close views of the pearl. Raised tesserae and rough plaster give the image a tactile finish.
Adapt a recognizable portrait or botanical image into irregular tesserae, arranging tile contours around its key features. Use rough plaster, slight variations in tile height and selective glossy highlights to make the surface feel tangible. Include both tiny material details and a complete bordered composition so the subject remains readable at different scales.
