EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Hendrickje Stoffels sitting by a window with open eyes," dates back to the 17th century and was created by the renowned Dutch artist, Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn. The monochrome drawing, executed in brown ink and brown wash with a pen brush, showcases Hendrickje Stoffels, who was Rembrandt's housekeeper, model, and eventual wife. The scene depicts Hendrickje in a quiet moment, sitting by an open window with a thoughtful expression on her face. The open window allows natural light to illuminate her features, adding depth and texture to the drawing. During the Dutch Golden Age, artists like Rembrandt were known for their exceptional skill in capturing the human form and emotion. This intimate sketch is a testament to Rembrandt's mastery of the medium, as he expertly conveys the subtle nuances of Hendrickje's expression and the folds of her clothing. The drawing is now part of the esteemed collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, and is a valuable addition to the European art heritage. It provides a glimpse into the lives of the artists and their models during this historic period, offering insights into the daily routines and occupations of the time. The drawing's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back to the 17th century, allowing us to connect with the past in a meaningful way.
