Portrait of a Woman
1667
Oil on canvas
873-1-155
Bequeathed by Jean-Marie de Silguy in 1864
H. 130 cm - L. 108,5 cm
Rembrandt’s best-known pupil was a famous portrait painter. This portrait of an unknown model is characteristic of the painter’s art in the second part of his career: he multiplies details and accessories and plays with the effects of fine fabrics, but the execution is wooden and weak.
The portrait is skilfully arranged within a park landscape where the statues reinforce the social standing of this rich woman.
