About the piece

Created in 1656, this portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn exemplifies the Dutch Master's legendary use of chiaroscuro. The subject is depicted in traditional Dutch dress, her white collar and cap providing a brilliant contrast to the deep, moody background. In her hand, she holds a small 'pink'—a carnation that served as a traditional symbol of love or betrothal in the Golden Age.
