johannes vermeer \girl with a pear earring\ 1665 oil on canvas

Explanation:

One principle is contrast: the dark background contrasts with the girl’s lighter face, blue headscarf, and the pear earring, drawing attention to her. Another is emphasis: the earring and the girl’s gaze (created via lighting on her face) are emphasized, making them focal points.

The painting uses contrast (dark background vs. light face/blue headscarf/pear earring) to draw attention, and emphasis (on the earring and the girl’s face via lighting) to create focal points.
