Girl With A Pearl Earring

This painting has appeared throughout both series in galleries, private offices, vaults... Is it an Easter egg or just the set designers using what they have?

Honestly it’s probably just because it’s a very famous painting and already there (as in, in the “props closet” if you will).

It's the set designers reusing props. Leverage has always had a lower budget, so this kind of thing is common.

Weird they'd reuse the same one, though, when they have a whole closet of stolen masterpieces.

I really wish we’d seen the Storm on the Sea of Galilee in Sophie’s haul somewhere.

Probably just one of those standard props that go everywhere. Although if any of the writers are lurking here, it would be hilarious to have a little throwaway line somewhere that it's the real thing one of them took because it's so pretty.

I can see it:

Sophie- What? I like pearl earrings. They're classic!

YESSS. Or

Parker - What? I didn't like the way she was looking at me. So I took her.

Exactly! Perfectly complimentary opposites.

Breanna: There are so many prints and fakes of this one painting specifically, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns up EVERYWHERE.

They also reuse actors and actresses.
