Three heads of women, one lightly etched c. 1637

"Three Heads of Women, One Lightly Etched" is an etching created by Rembrandt van Rijn in c. 1637. The work depicts the head of a young woman, partially obscured by her hair, as she rests her hand on her temple, perhaps in a moment of contemplation. This etching, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is characteristic of Rembrandt's mastery of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and emotion. The use of soft lines and subtle details captures the essence of the subject's expression.
