Woman Standing with Raised Hands 1633

"Woman Standing with Raised Hands" is a pen and ink drawing created in 1633 by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. This artwork features a woman standing in profile, her hands raised in a gesture of prayer or supplication. The drawing is characterized by Rembrandt's signature use of hatching and cross-hatching to create depth and volume. This dynamic use of lines is evident in the woman's clothing and the background, which emphasizes the form of the figure. This drawing is now part of the Kunsthalle Bremen's collection, Bremen, Germany.
