- Girl with a Pearl Earring: Vermeer’s tronie from around 1665, a dark background and a turned head with a large pearl. Up close you see the soft, almost blurred edges of the face.
- View of Delft: Vermeer’s cityscape from the 1660s, famous for its small dots of light on the boats and rooftops and its huge cloudy sky.
- The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp: Rembrandt’s 1632 group portrait, painted when he was in his mid-twenties. Check the dissected arm and the faces of the onlookers.
- The Goldfinch: Carel Fabritius’s 1654 small panel of a chained bird on a feeder. It inspired a modern novel, and he died in the Delft gunpowder explosion that same year.
- Rembrandt’s late self-portrait: Painted in 1669, the year he died. The worn face and rough paint make it one of the most direct works in the building.

- Paulus Potter’s The Bull: A life-size Dutch landscape from 1647, remarkable for its scale and the detail in the animal’s hide.
- The Hofvijver view: Windows and the front steps give a look across the pond to the Binnenhof towers. It is a good short pause between rooms.
- The Golden Age interior: Marble stairs, painted ceilings and small rooms preserve the feel of a 17th-century townhouse rather than a modern gallery.
