Woman with a Pink

Rembrandt van Rijn, one of the most well-known painters of the Dutch Golden Age, created the painting ‘Woman with a Pink’ during the 17th century. The artwork is admired for its detailed portrayal of a woman delicately holding a pink carnation. The painting exemplifies Rembrandt’s mastery of chiaroscuro, the use of strong contrasts between light and dark to give a sense of volume and three-dimensionality.
