The portrait of this unknown woman was painted at the beginning of Rembrandt's career in Amsterdam. As soon as he arrived in Amsterdam in 1631 he became the most sought-after painter of portraits in the city. between 1631 and about 1640 he produced dozens of portraits, taking over an important part of the Amsterdam market for commissions of this kind. It is assumed on stylistic and technical basis that this portrait is the pendant of the portrait of Man Sharpening a Quill, now in the Staatliche Museen, Kassel. ## 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]()
