Information on that painting: The painting featured in the novel, The Goldfinch, is work by Carel Fabritius from 1654. It belongs to the collection of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands. Author Donna Tartt first saw the painting 20 years before the release of the book.
Other than that, I think the biggest highlight of the film is Nicole Kidman's outfits.
