The Girl with the Wine Glass (Dame en twee heren) is an oil-on-canvas painting of the Dutch Golden Age by Johannes Vermeer, created c. 1659–1660, now in the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, in Braunschweig.

The pigment analysis done by Hermann Kühn[1] shows Vermeer's use of the expensive natural ultramarine in the tablecloth, lead-tin-yellow in the oranges on the table and madder lake and vermilion in the skirt of the woman.[2]
