Saskia in a Red Hat

Rembrandt's Saskia in a Red Hat presents Saskia van Uylenburgh in a three-quarter profile set against a dark background. She wears a red dress and a large red hat with a white feather, and is adorned with layered jewelry, with light illuminating her pale face and hands. The painting exemplifies Rembrandt's use of chiaroscuro, warm earth tones, and finely blended brushwork to render texture in velvet, metal, and skin.
