EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tender moment between a woman and a child, dating back to around 1640. Created by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, this pen and ink drawing on paper showcases his exceptional talent for capturing emotion and depth in his artwork. The identity of the subjects depicted in this piece has been debated over time. Some believe it portrays Saskia, Rembrandt's first wife, with their son Titus. Others suggest that it could be his maid Geertje Dircx with Titus instead. Regardless of their identities, what remains undeniable is the intimacy and warmth conveyed through the woman's gentle embrace of the child on her lap. Rembrandt's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this sketch. The play of light and shadow adds dimension to both figures while emphasizing their connection. The woman's expression exudes love and tenderness as she gazes down at the child nestled against her chest. This study offers us a glimpse into domestic life during the Baroque period, showcasing not only Rembrandt's artistic prowess but also his ability to capture everyday moments filled with genuine human emotions. It serves as a testament to his mastery as an artist who could bring life to even the simplest scenes through his skilled hand. Displayed proudly at Moscow's Pushkin Museum, this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers today with its beauty and emotional resonance.
