# Old Woman Cutting Her Nails [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [REMBRANDT Harmenszoon van Rijn]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 126 x 102 cm ## Commentary Until the 1920s this painting was celebrated as a mature work by Rembrandt. Since then the authorship is debated, but it is generally thought that the painting was executed within the immediate circle of Nicolaes Maes in Dordrecht during the 1650s. A plausible attribution is to Maes's colleague Abraham van Dijck \(c. 1635-1680\). ## Related artworks - [A black drummer and commander mounted on mules; riding in profile]() - [A child being taught to walk]() - [A cottage beneath trees]() - [A girl sleeping]() - [A Man Laughing]() - [A man making water]() - [A Peddler Selling Spectacles \(The Allegory of Sight\)]() - [A Polish Nobleman]() - [A Scholar]() - [A two-humped camel]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the back]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the front]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
