    Click-to-enlarge image can be found here. Smaller enlargement can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.
    
    The Geographer (link shows Wikipedia page, mentions painting) is shown, with a different coloration image, and described, by its current-location page.
    
    The painting is also described here, with its accompanying different coloration, click-to-enlarge image, detail image and description. Many different coloration and detail images are available online.
    
    Like the other paintings actually by this artist, it has its own Essential Vermeer page, where you can mouse over the image to find hotspots and see an explanation of each, with topical links below the image.
    
    It, like the above description link, mentions Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (also born in Delft, baptized 4 days before the artist) being portrayed in the painting; but, like his English Wikipedia page, says the physical similarity is debatable.
    
    The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more) and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).
    
    Seventh, of the 7 works, attributed to this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.
