More about this artwork

This evocative portrait by the revered Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn depicts Hendrickje Stoffels, who is thought to have been Rembrandt's muse, housekeeper, and later, his lover. Painted in the mid-1650s, this artwork captures Stoffels with her gentle gaze turned slightly away from the viewer, imbuing the portrait with a sense of introspection and subtle emotion.Rembrandt's mastery in chiaroscuro – the treatment of light and shadow – is evident here. The soft illumination of Hendrickje's face highlights her gentle features and the thoughtful expression, set against a dark, indistinct background that serves to draw the viewer’s focus firmly to her. Her dress, rendered in warm browns and reds, is depicted with loose, fluid brushstrokes that suggest texture and movement, reflecting Rembrandt's skill in portraying rich fabrics.The painting not only showcases Rembrandt’s technical prowess but also his ability to convey deep, personal connections through portraitures.

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.
