The Geographer (Dutch: De geograaf) is a painting created by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer in 1668–1669, and is now in the collection of the Städel museum in Frankfurt, Germany. It is closely related to Vermeer's The Astronomer , for instance using the same model in the same dress, and has sometimes been considered a pendant painting to it.

The Concert (Dutch: Het concert) (c. 1664) is a painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer depicting a man and two women performing music. It was stolen on March 18, 1990, from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and remains missing. [1]
The Geographer used the same model and other elements as The Astronomer. Portrayals of scientists were a favourite topic in 17th-century Dutch painting [1] and Vermeer's oeuvre includes both this astronomer and the slightly later The Geographer. Both are believed to portray the same man, [2] [3] [4] possibly Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. [5]
