Portrait of a Lady with a Lap Dog

Rembrandt van Rijn’s ‘Portrait of a Lady with a Lap Dog’ is an exemplar of the artist’s mastery in portrait painting during the Dutch Golden Age. Created around 1636, the artwork captures a woman adorned in a luxurious red dress, holding a small lap dog. The detailed textures of her garments and the realistic rendering of her features are hallmarks of Rembrandt’s style.
