This etching, "Self-portrait with Saskia", depicts Rembrandt van Rijn, the famous Dutch artist, alongside his wife Saskia, who is shown with her hand on her chest. The print dates back to 1636, a significant time in Rembrandt’s life, as it was the year he married Saskia. Rembrandt’s artistic style is evident in the intricate details and dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of the Baroque period. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the lasting legacy of Rembrandt's work.
