Saskia with Pearls in Her Hair 1634

"Saskia with Pearls in Her Hair" (1634) is a striking etching by Rembrandt van Rijn. This artwork features Rembrandt's wife, Saskia, depicted in profile, adorned with a string of pearls and a pearl-encrusted headband. The etching's loose and expressive lines, characteristic of Rembrandt's style, capture the soft contours of Saskia's face and the flowing texture of her hair. This print is a testament to the enduring love between Rembrandt and his wife, and it is a poignant example of the artist's ability to portray both beauty and vulnerability.
