Old Woman Sleeping (copy) 1620 - 1986

Rembrandt van Rijn's etching "Old Woman Sleeping" (1620-1686) portrays an aged woman in repose, captured in a moment of peaceful slumber. Her wrinkled face, partially obscured by a cap, reveals the passage of time, while the soft lines of the etching evoke a sense of tranquility. This print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a powerful example of Rembrandt's mastery of etching, showcasing his ability to convey emotion and texture with remarkable detail.
