Young Woman at an Open Half-Door
Workshop of Rembrandt van Rijn, 1645
This painting of a young woman, with her sidelong glance and the ambiguous lift at the corner of her mouth, exemplifies the playful nature of Rembrandt’s character studies, called tronies, as well as his clever use of doorways and windows as framing devices. However, the overall flatness of this work suggests that it might have been painted by a member of his workshop and then endorsed as a studio product with the artist’s signature and date.
