More about this artwork

Portrait of a Lady with an Ostrich-Feather Fan by Rembrandt van Rijn, painted around 1656-1658, is a captivating exploration of elegance and refinement. In this artwork, the Dutch master portrays a woman dressed in a black gown with a wide, white lace collar and matching cuffs, both typical of the wealthy bourgeois fashion of 17th-century Europe. The lady's deep gaze hints at a serene composure and a dignified poise, with her slightly arched eyebrows and calm, yet penetrating eyes that seem to follow the viewer.A significant aspect of the painting is the luxurious ostrich-feather fan she holds gracefully in her right hand, which is a symbol of wealth and status during that period. The fan, matched with the ornate brooch at her throat and gold bracelets on her wrists, adds to the opulent character of the portrait.Rembrandt's use of light and shadow expertly highlights the textures of the lace and the softness of the feather, creating a dramatic yet intimate portrayal. The somber background enhances the focus on the subject, making the woman's expression and fine garments the central elements of the composition.

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.
