DescriptionDescription: Around 1650 Rembrandt produced several similar half-length paintings of women, reminiscent of The Kitchen Maid. His vivid image of a girl at a window is painted with broad brushstrokes and sharp contrasts between light and shadow. The warm red of the jacket offers a harmonious contrast to the white blouse and the dark background. The painting was owned by Count Johan Gabriel Stenbock, who travelled abroad, including to the Netherlands, in the 1670s.
