Historical documents such as auction records suggest that Vermeer painted a number of other works, now presumably destroyed, lost to public view, or possibly wrongly attributed to other artists. While a list of these lost Vermeers must necessarily be tentative, it may include:
- a self-portrait
- a painting of a man washing his hands
- a second street scene (the first being The Little Street)
- a Visit to the Tomb - possibly Biblical
- a mythological painting including Jupiter
- a relatively early painting described as a 'face by Vermeer'
