Dutch school (XIX) After Rembrandt van Rijn - Porträt einer Frau

The painting is a portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels, Rembrandt's long-time partner. The work probably dates from the mid-1650s.
Artist: It is attributed to Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, one of the most important Dutch artists.
Subject: Hendrickje Stoffels was Rembrandt's housekeeper from 1649 and later became his life partner.
Style and The painting is characterized by broad, impasto applications of paint and dramatic lighting that highlights the face and chest area.
The portrait is intimate; her loose dress and relaxed posture were unusual for formal portraits of the time.
Location: Original versions of this motif can be found, among other places, in the National Gallery in London and the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin.
Behind the end stamp on the picture frame is the student who took his exam and was supposed to represent an artist, with the school's art stamp and his name.
