| Rembrandt's Mother, by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, 1631, housed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam [Photo/Artron.net] |
Rembrandt drew this portrait of his mother when he was 25 years old. In this painting, an honest woman, in red velvet coat, brown scarf on head, sitting on a broken stool reads the Bible. Her wrinkles show that she had suffered in life. The woman looks silent and calm, while quite appalling.
