A woman glances at you over her shoulder, wearing a headscarf and a pearl earring. Sound like a familiar image? Unlike the famous Vermeer painting, the woman pictured is not a girl. In fact, she’s decades beyond the phase of girlhood in her own life.

　　一位女士戴着头巾和珍珠耳环，侧过肩膀看你。这幅画面是不是很熟悉呢?跟弗米尔的著名画作不同的是，图片中的这位女士并非妙龄少女。实际上，她的少女时光已经过去几十年了。

　　Laura Hofstadter is the artist behind paintings, in which she recreates famous artworks featuring herself as the subject. At the age of 65, she has returned to photography, a passion she pursued in college but left behind when she devoted herself to raising a family and dealing with her own health issues.

　　劳拉·霍夫施塔特可谓是一位名画背后的艺术家，她以自己为主角再造了那些著名的画作。65岁高龄之下，她重拾摄影这门技术，这是她在大学期间曾经酷爱的事业，后来由于投身到家庭和个人健康的问题中曾不得不放弃。

　　Hofstadter explained that it consisted of set design and staging in her house or backyard, the “costume” selection from her existing wardrobe, and, of course, “acting” the part.

　　霍夫施塔特解释说，为了创作这些画作，她首先要在自己屋里或后院里设计并摆放布景，从自己现有的衣服中选择“戏服”，当然，还有扮演画中的角色。
