Rembrandt van Rijn's "Portrait of a Woman Wearing a Gold Chain" (1634) is a masterful example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The subject is depicted in a direct gaze, emphasizing her composure and status. Her elaborate lace collar, pearl necklace, and gold chain accentuate her wealth and fashion sense. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique of contrasting light and shadow, lends a sense of depth and drama to the painting. The work is now in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
