Portrait of a Woman

Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, Leiden 1606–1669 Amsterdam)

Date: 1633

Medium: Oil on wood

Dimensions: Oval, 26 3/4 x 19 3/4 in. (67.9 x 50.2 cm)

Classification: Paintings

Credit Line: Bequest of Benjamin Altman, 1913

Accession Number: 14.40.625

Gallery Label:

The attribution to Rembrandt has occasionally been doubted, in part on the basis of the mistaken notion that this panel and the superb "Portrait of a Man" of 1632 (64.126) were painted as a pair. Most scholars maintain that this work is autograph, but a few experts consider it a workshop copy. The differences of opinion reflect a broader debate about whether or not Rembrandt made liberal use of apprentices to handle the great demand for portraits by him during the 1630s in Amsterdam.
