Vermeer is the only artist of the seventeenth century to use the expensive lapis lazuli (the natural pigment of lapis lazuli) generously or early in his career. He not only used the natural elements that possess this color, but added to them the earth colors of yellowish brown and orange as a warm light in the brightly lit interior in the painting, and to reflect their multiple colors on the wall, and through this method he created a world more perfect than any that he had witnessed . His way of working was probably inspired by his understanding of da Vinci's observations, according to which the surface of each object contributes to the color of the object next to it, which means that nothing appears completely in its natural color.

The natural pigment of lapis lazuli is further embodied in the painting “The Girl with the Glass of Wine”, as the shades of the red satin dress are based on the natural pigment of lapis lazuli, and thanks to the blue base coat, the mixture of lacquer pigment and vermilion powder applied to it acquires a pure and cold purple color that makes it even more powerful.
