More about this artwork

Rembrandt van Rijn, one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history, created "An Elderly Woman (Rembrandt’s Mother, Seated at a Table)" around 1631. This etching stands out as a poignant testament to Rembrandt's mastery in portraying the human condition and his exceptional skill in etching technique.The artwork delicately captures an elderly woman, identified as Rembrandt's mother, seated at a table. Her expression is solemn and contemplative, reflecting perhaps the wisdom and the weight of years. The detail with which Rembrandt renders the textures of her clothing and the folds of her shawl speaks to his diligent observation and ability to translate intricate details onto a print. The soft, controlled lines of her face contrast with the darker, more vigorous strokes defining her garments, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Her dignified posture and the stark simplicity of the setting focus the viewer's attention entirely on her, making this not just a portrait, but a profound human document.This etching is a beautiful example of how Rembrandt could evoke emotion and narrative through his art, inviting viewers to ponder the life and thoughts of his subjects.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch draughtsman, painter, and printmaker. An innovative and prolific master in three media, he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history. Unlike most Dutch masters of the 17th century, Rembrandt's works depict a wide range of style and subject matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, genre scenes, allegorical and historical scenes, and biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies.
