Pallas Athena

Rembrandt's Pallas Athena shows the goddess in a three-quarter view, her face softly lit beneath a polished helmet with a tall orange plume. She wears armor and a red mantle, with a large shield occupying the lower foreground and a spear hinted in her left hand. The scene uses a warm palette of golds, browns, and reds, with strong chiaroscuro and textured brushwork typical of Rembrandt's Baroque style.
