The Girl with the Wine Glass is a painting created by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer in c. 1659-1660 and at the Herzog Anton-Ulrich-Museum in Brunswick, Germany.

Provenance and Exhibitions
The painting is thought to have been owned by Pieter Claesz van Ruijven of Delft, before 1674, then perhaps by Maria de Knuijt, widow of van Ruijven and also of Delft, from 1674-1681. Magdalena van Ruijven and Jcob Dissius of Delft possessed the work from 1681-1682. It was in the hands of Jacob Dissius (and his father, Abraham Dissius, from 1685-1694) until 1695 and then sold as part of the Dissius sale in Amsterdam on May 16, 1696 (No. 9, sold for 73 florins). Before 1710 it was owned by Duke Anton Ulrich of Brunswick, who then passed it into the possession of the Harzog Anton Ulrich-Museum in that city. From 1807-1815 it was in the Louvre before being returned to the museum in Brunswick. (Wheelock95, p114)
