About the piece
Dating to approximately 1640, this portrait from the circle of Rembrandt exemplifies the sophisticated use of chiaroscuro typical of the Dutch Golden Age. The subject is depicted in a moment of quiet poise, her dark, velvet-like garments providing a rich contrast to the luminous pearls at her neck and wrists and the soft, directional light that defines her features.
