Hendrickje Stoffels by a Door

Rembrandt's Hendrickje Stoffels by a Door presents the sitter in a three-quarter view beside a dark doorway, her head gently tilted and her gaze directed at the viewer. She wears a red outer garment over a pale bodice, with a necklace and bracelets visible, and her left arm rests on a surface while her right hand touches the door frame; light brushes her face and chest, leaving the background in deep shadow. The work exhibits Rembrandt's characteristic chiaroscuro and earthy palette, with warm reds, ochers, and browns rendered in confident, expressive brushwork that emphasizes volume and tactile texture.
