Portret van Saskia met een parelsnoer in het haar 1635 - 1636

Wenceslaus Hollar’s etching, *Portret van Saskia met een parelsnoer in het haar*, depicts Saskia van Uylenburgh, the wife of the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt. The etching is a small, finely detailed work, measuring just 65 mm high and 52 mm wide, and is considered to be a reproduction of an original portrait by Rembrandt himself. It is now held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Hollar’s work captures Saskia’s elegance and refined beauty, as she wears a pearl necklace and a decorative lace collar.
