Johannes Vermeer, in 1663-64 A.D., painted Woman With a Balance. A young and beautiful housewife is standing at a table on which are scattered her more precious worldly goods -- strings of pearls (including a rare set of black pearls), gold and silver coins, and boxes that presumably contain more small treasures.
