About the piece

Painted around 1640, this exquisite portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn depicts his wife, Saskia van Uylenburgh. The work is a masterclass in the artist's signature chiaroscuro technique, where light falls softly across the sitter's face and illuminates the fine, gauzy layers of her veil against a deep, atmospheric background.
