About the piece
This 1661 masterpiece by Rembrandt depicts Margaretha de Geer with profound psychological depth. Her brilliant white millstone ruff contrasts sharply with her dark gown and the moody, atmospheric background, exemplifying the artist's unparalleled use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of dignity and presence.
