The wistful painting (すてきなめいが, stekinameiga?, stylish masterpiece) is a painting that was introduced in City Folk and returns in New Leaf and New Horizons, and can be collected by Happy Home Handbook in Happy Home Designer, perhaps after the popularity of a novel and film featuring this painting. In New Horizons, the painting can be donated to the museum and be added to the art gallery. As this painting can be bought from Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler, players should keep in mind that they may be purchasing a forgery. The painting is Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.
This painting can be bought from Crazy Redd's in later games, players should bear in mind that they may be purchasing a counterfeit.

Donation to the museum[]
After donating it to the museum, a museum label will give a description of the painting. In New Horizons, the museum label reads:
Girl with a Pearl EarringJohannes Vermeer, circa 1665Oil on canvasAlso known as "Girl with a Turban," this piece uses ultramarin paint, which was expensive at the time. It seems the expense was worth it, as the vivid blue colors draw the eye and help make the piece a classic. The only question is... Is that a real pearl earring? Or something else...
- Note: Prior to New Leaf, paintings did not have visual differences between forged and genuine versions. Therefore, paintings given to Blathers were fake or authentic at random.
