This painting of a woman with her hand on her heart is considered a Virgin of Sorrows with the usual attributes of that figure. In her bearing, which seems to express barely endurable pain, she resembles the Madonnas Rembrandt painted and drew in the 1630s. ## 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]()
